🏝️ Aotea / Great Barrier Island Wooden Ocean Depth Map – A Handcrafted Tribute to Auckland’s Wild Island Escape

Aotea (Great Barrier Island) is where rugged adventure meets serene natural beauty — a haven for surfers, divers, boaties, and off-grid explorers alike. This handcrafted wooden map captures the dramatic terrain and rich coastal detail of the island, from the calm, sheltered harbours of Port Fitzroy and Tryphena to the wild surf beaches of the Pacific-facing east coast.

Off the island’s western side lies a scattering of smaller islands, including Kaikoura Island, known for its clear waters, marine life, and excellent fishing and diving. On the eastern shoreline, long arcs of white sand meet rolling ocean swells — a paradise for surfers and nature lovers alike.

Designed and built in Aotearoa, each map is laser-cut from European Birch 3-ply plywood, then hand-painted and layered to showcase the seafloor’s contours in stunning 3D relief.
