About

The website, sealink.co.nz, belongs to the ferry operator that serves the wharf. Tryphena Wharf, 4 Shoal Bay Road, Bay, Great Barrier Island / Aotea 0991, Nueva Zelanda is the address to give to a driver. Okupu and Whangaparapara lie along the same coast for anyone continuing around the island.
New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country, including Aotea for Great Barrier Island. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
