North Island
Stunning islands, beautiful picturesque lakes, awe-inspiring volcanic peaks, intriguing geothermal activity and long white surf beaches – welcome to the North Island of New Zealand.
Comprised of two large islands (separated by the Cook Strait), as well as Stewart Island, hundreds of coastal islands and many regional islands, New Zealand is a country of snowcapped mountains and scenic landscapes - north to south.
A few of the favourite attractions on North Island include Auckland, the Bay of Islands, Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty, the Rotorua area with its boiling mud pools, geysers, hot springs and steam vents, and the charming capital city of Wellington. North Island is also home to snow-capped volcanic peaks, including Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe, Mount Taranaki and Mount Tongariro.
New Zealand's South Island, not-to-be-missed sites include Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound, Mount Cook National Park, and the cities of Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill. A visit to New Zealand would not be complete without enjoying the history of the Maori culture - maintained and displayed in over 10,000 sites across the country.
