OPC Great Barrier is located on the edge of Karaka Bay, Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf. Great Barrier Island is the guardian of the gulf. Exposed to rugged elements, it shields the inner islands and offers a variety of environments that challenge and inspire.
OPC students and staff are privileged to have access to this world-class outdoor classroom right on Auckland(TM)s doorstep. The island is just 35km long and 15km at its widest point.
The Orama Trust hosts OPC on their 230 hectare property at Karaka Bay 4km from Port Fitzroy, and surrounded by pastureland, regenerating indigenous bush and mature trees.
This centre offers a tranquil and unique environment for a range of groups, from schools to business and management training groups. The main centre includes a large communal kitchen, dining hall, indoor gymnasium, shop, conference facilities and lounge. We also offer specialised guided trips through Hillary Guides.
The most common means of travel to the island are by ferry and plane. OPC has discount arrangements for group bookings traveling to OPC Great Barrier.
Great Barrier Island has many other excellent activity options to explore.
