Great Barrier Island is renowned for it’s mouthwatering mussels farmed in the clean, clear waters of Port FitzRoy and they are freshly harvested for the Mussel Fest where visitors can sample them au naturel, smoked or as the special ingredient in chowder, kebabs, fritters and other yummy cuisine.

Port FitzRoy, with a resident population of about 20, is one of the best natural deep water harbours in New Zealand. The population swells dramatically in summer when up to 900 boats anchor in the many sheltered bays and coves around its edge.
