Hobson for amazing views. The island is also one of the few Dark Sky Sanctuaries in the world, making it great for stargazing. Each year, the Great Barrier Island Art Festival shows off work from local artists. While there are no international ferries from the island, travelers can take ferries from Auckland to reach this hidden gem, then connect to other New Zealand spots.
