SUMMARY:Spectacular by Nature - Garden Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, the Totara\, Kauri\, Rewa and Nikau Garden Tours will be on Saturday 30th of November. \nBookings have already opened on 1st May 2024. \nThis is a unique opportunity to view a variety of residential gardens on the Island. The guided tours will enable you to visit charming cottage gardens\, to see spectacular coastal panoramas and experience the hidden native flora and birdlife. The ticket includes tour transportation\, a scrumptious Morning Tea and a charming Devonshire Afternoon Tea. \nThe Garden Tour is a major fundraiser for the Great Barrier Island Community Health Trust\, enabling it to purchase equipment for use on the Island. The event involves many 100’s of hours of community volunteer time and energy and the participant feedback has been outstanding. It has become a very popular event\, national and international celebrities who have participated in the past tours\, quote that it is ‘a must-do event’ for every keen adventurous gardener. \nA previous special guest Russell Fransham comments\, \n“Thank you so much for persuading me to come over for the garden tour. I had the most wonderful weekend on the Barrier.. my first time on the island. \nThe gardens I saw were such a treat\, all different and all very personal expressions of their creators’ lives. The passion\, creativity and commitment were so inspiring. Its very clear that Great Barrier people know they are part of something very special. I came away feeling so welcomed into island life and so many of the people I met felt like old friends by the time I flew home. \nI’m still on a high and I’ll be back for more.”

SUMMARY:Love is in the air - come stargazing with us on Valentines Day
DESCRIPTION:Is there anything more romantic than stargazing? Certainly not! ;-D \nAotea Great Barrier Island is an International Dark Sky Sanctuary \nHere\, light pollution is minimal\, and the night sky is wonderfully dark.\nWe see ten times as many stars here as in Auckland\, for example.\nThis is why Aotea is such a great place to discover the stars.\nAnd why Good Heavens guides love to take you stargazing here.\nOur guides will meet you on top of a sand dune\,\n with a telescope\, binoculars\, chairs and blankets\nAnd while you lean back\, hearing the waves on the beach below\,\nGood Heavens guides entertain you with interesting facts and the fascinating stories  \nCome stargazing with your loved one\, and with Good Heavens! It’s the romantic thing to do. \nIf you need to convince someone that Good Heavens is a great option to stargaze in New Zealand:\n•	This Dark Sky Sanctuary is easily accessible in comparison to other Dark Sky Sanctuaries\n•	Good Heavens stargaze in pristine locations by the ocean\n•	The island’s climate is subtropical\, warmer than elsewhere in NZ\n•	Our groups are small and intimate\, with a maximum of 12 stargazers and with\n•	Tours of 1.5 -2 hours\, there’s time for questions and some banter\n•	Our local guides are experienced and welcoming.\n•	They warmly invite questions and children from 8 years up.\n•	Tours are suitable for everyone\, from first time stargazers to astrophysicists.\n•	The southern hemisphere sky is magnificent.\n•	Check out our Tripadvisor reviews if more convincing is required still 😉\nMore dates available.

SUMMARY:Bird Aversion Training
DESCRIPTION:Free Bird Aversion Training for Dogs \nGreat Barrier is home to many ground-dwelling birds\, so each year the Department of Conservation host a Bird Aversion training to teach dogs to stay clear of any birds they may come across on their walks along the beach or in the bush. \nWe have a number of endangered seabirds who nest in the sand dunes\, holes in the bank and hollow tree trunks. These birds are not just sensitive to predation\, but if disturbed while nesting adults may abandon their nest completely. \nAll are welcome – full time/ part time residents and visitors. \nDogs must be 8 months or older. \nBooking is essential – Please text Cara Fraider on 02102612322 \nDOC Office 6th March\, 9am-10am\nOkupu Beach 6th March\, 11am-12pm
