Flying from Auckland to Aotea Great Barrier Island feels like you've taken a wrong turn and you're flying straight into heaven.

A bigger transition in just 30 minutes seems barely possible. From the hustle and bustle of the city, to the silence of this island paradise is a scenic flight.

Small planes ensure that you'll have a window seat. Flights leave from the domestic terminal at Auckland International Airport or Auckland's North Shore.

We can book these flights for you if you book a package with us. There's a link to our website in the bio. 🤩

One of my favourite places ever: Great Barrier Island

Just a 40-minute flight from Auckland or 4 1/2 hours by ferry.

Life just goes a lot slower on this special island. No supermarkets, no power grid, life hasn't changed much in the 25 years since I first visited.

Lots of beautify beaches, rainforest and my favourite kākā and nikau.

International recognition for our remote solar powered distillery on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, and history in the making, literally!

Madame Distiller Ltd, aka Andi Ross, the maker of Island Gin, has been shortlisted for the IWSC International Gin Producer Trophy in London.

The first New Zealand gin producer ever shortlisted.

This is not an award for one gin. It is recognition of our whole range, our sustainable distillery, and everything we have built here on the island. As the IWSC puts it, these trophies “go beyond the performance of an individual spirit” and recognise strength across an entire portfolio.

Island Gin Original and Island Gin Navy Strength both won Gold. Orange and Mānuka Bush Honey Gin also received a medal.

We are beyond proud. Fingers crossed for November 24.
