Aside from hiring a car on Great Barrier Island another option for exploring the island is by private transfer or using the scheduled bus service that operates on the island.
Great Barrier Travel has a travel pass that offers unlimited use of their scheduled services for the duration of your stay on the island. All travel passes include wharf or airport transfers and unlimited use of all the scheduled services.
Scheduled bus services Great Barrier Travel bus services operate a number of scheduled services on the island. These give access to all the "hot spots" on the island including beaches, tramping trails and Kaitoke geothermal hot springs.
