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

Rugged, remote, and rich with natural beauty, Aotea (Great Barrier Island) is one of New Zealand’s most beloved offshore escapes. This handcrafted wooden map captures the island’s dramatic coastline — from the calm waters of Port Fitzroy and Tryphena Harbour to the powerful Pacific swells that roll onto the pristine white sand beaches of the east coast.

The western side features the scattering of islands near Kaikoura Island, well-known for diving and fishing. On the east, long surf beaches and untouched headlands reflect the wilder side of this off-grid paradise.

Each map is designed and built in New Zealand. Layers are laser-cut from high-quality European Birch plywood, hand-painted, and assembled to showcase Aotea’s unique bathymetry and coastline in stunning relief.
