Glenfern Sanctuary

Visit a native eco-forest sanctuary on Great Barrier Island near Auckland, where endangered wildlife is thriving. Glenfern Sanctuary is a predator-controlled environment where threatened species are able to thrive once more. From its humble inception over 20 years ago by the late Tony Bouzaid, the epic story of Glenfern has evolved throughout the years to become a centre of rare biodiversity and pride for a remote island community. Bordered by a predator proof fence and the waters of the Hauraki Gulf, Glenfern is a very special place on a spectacular and unique island.
