Tauranga is located at the western end of the Bay of Plenty, on the North Island’s central eastern coast. It is built around Tauranga Harbour, a busy port, and the surrounding region is a fertile fruit-growing district. It is sheltered to the west by the Kaimai Ranges and to the east by Matakana Island.
Historically, Tauranga was a base for missionaries and the flax trade. The city is also home to Gate Pa, the site of a historic battle between local Maori and European settlers. Artillery and earthworks can still be seen at the site. Today, Tauranga’s warm climate and coastal location make the city a popular location to live, and it is the country’s fastest-growing center. Its major attractions are boating, surfing, and fishing, and a host of other activities such as water skiing, diving,g, and windsurfing. The city also has some interesting historical buildings and attractions, such as the Tauranga Historic Village/Museum.
Nearby Mt Maunganui is built on a long sandy peninsula and can be reached by the harbor bridge or via the coast road. It is a popular resort with a long sandy beach and fine surfing. At the tip of the peninsula is Mt Maunganui itself. This bush-clad hill has several walking tracks and excellent views of the area.
Napier, the city by the sea, is located on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand. The city is renowned for its 1930s Art Deco architecture, grand Norfolk pines, surrounding wineries, local fresh produce, and national tourist attractions.
Napier has a Mediterranean-style climate with long, fine summers and short mild winters. It is a popular year-round destination for holidaymakers. Napier is a city of fun with entertainment and activities for people of all ages. There are many attractions in and around Napier City such as Marineland, Aquarium, Art Gallery, and The Museum. There is a lively café culture in the central city area. Visitors can dine alfresco style in one of the many cafes and wineries. Napier is internationally renowned for its vineyards and award-winning wines. Beaches stretch for miles and swim with the dolphins, tourists can visit the aquarium, learn about the injured penguin program,m and visit the amazing site of Cape Kidnappers and view the gannets firsthand. For the more active there is ocean sailing, jet boating between the wineries, hot air ballooning, caving, paragliding, windsurfing, deep sea fishing, or trout fishing in many of the pristine clear lakes or rivers.

A landmark of Napier is Bluff Hill, which is home to many Napier residents and provides views of the town beaches of Perfume Point and Westshore, past the newly upgraded airport and out towards Whirinaki. Bluff Hill also overlooks the Port of Napier, one of New Zealand's busiest ports, transporting timber, local fruit, and meat products to worldwide destinations.
The bustling port of Picton is the terminal for inter-island ferries, and gateway to the ‘Mainland’, the South Island’s self-proclaimed nickname.
Picton is 30 km north of Blenheim at the head of the picturesque Queen Charlotte Sound. The town dates from 1827 when John Guard established a whaling station in the sounds, and soon after the port began to ship produce from the Waiau Plains.
Today it serves mainly as a transit centre for Cook Strait travellers and boasts a wide choice of accommodation and fine restaurants with delicious seafood fresh from the sounds. There are indoor/outdoor cafés on the waterfront and a good selection of arts, crafts and souvenirs.The placid waters of the Queen Charlotte Sound are a playground for all manner of water sports. Launches, yachts, powerboats and sea kayaks can be chartered or hired. Fishing, diving and scenic trips are available and water taxi services run on demand. A regular shuttle takes trampers to various points on the beautiful Queen Charlotte Walkway, which is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks. The 67 km walk starts at Ship’s Cove, which was Captain Cook’s base in New Zealand on his three voyages of discovery and ends at Anakiwa near Picton.
Local sights begin on Picton’s attractive foreshore, where visitors can enjoy splendid views up the harbour from picnic benches set among the palm trees. Picton Museum has relics from the whaling era and a fascinating old sailing ship, the Edwin Fox, which is being restored. The ship was built in 1853 for the British East India Company and is the sole survivor of the original immigrant ships on the New Zealand run. Another fascinating old ship is the coastal scow Echo, which plied the Wellington to Picton run many years ago. To see this craft and the maritime museum tourists can follow an interesting walking track from the Picton Marina to Bob’s Bay.
Picton is an open door to a whole new experience of unspoilt nature, in these tranquil waters, where magical hideaways and private bays can be reached by water taxi.
Perched on the edge of a spectacular harbour, encircled by green, towering hills, Wellington is a stunning and compact city. Vibrant, exciting and cultured, the nation’s capital combines the stimulation and sophistication of a big city with the quirkiness of a charming village. Extending just two kilometres in diameter, Wellington is a truly ‘walking city’. Here you’ll find a unique blend of national treasures, arts and culture, gastronomic delights, shopping sensations and scenic beauty, making Wellington the ultimate urban destination in New Zealand.
Located on the east coast of the South Island, Christchurch - just like the rest of New Zealand - is a city of contrasts. It is a place where its residents continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle amidst a natural environment world-renowned for its beauty. A growing cosmopolitan ambiance also adds a touch of excitement without overt flashiness. Everywhere there is an understated elegance that speaks of times gone by and promises a future where anything is possible. It is the ‘city that shines’. Internationally famed ‘The Garden City’, Christchurch’s well-established expansive parks and public gardens owe much to the planning and foresight of the city’s founding fathers. The centrally-located 161-hectare Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, the four leafy inner-city avenues, Victoria Square, and spectacular gardens such as Mona Vale on the banks of the River Avon bear testimony to this legacy. It is a vision that is embraced and perpetuated today by proud residents right throughout the city. The Garden City Festival of Flowers held in February each year is certainly one of the most popular festivals on the annual calendar...a time when the city is a blaze of color. In 1996, Christchurch was acknowledged as the outstanding garden city from 620 international entries and in 1997, was judged Overall Winner of Major Cities in the Nations in Bloom International Competition to become ‘Garden City of the World’! Maori oral history suggests that people first inhabited the Canterbury area about a thousand years ago. These first inhabitants were moa-hunting tribes and these were followed by the Waitaha who are thought to have migrated from the east coast of the North Island in the 16th century. This migration was joined by the Ngati Mamoe and Ngai Tahu and continued until about 1830. The first European landed in Canterbury in 1815, 45 years after Captain James Cook sighted what he named "Banks Island", later found to be a peninsula. In 1840 the first Europeans settled on the plains and whaling ships were operating out of Lyttelton by 1850. During 1850-1851 the first organized groups of English settlers, the founders of Christchurch, arrived on the 'first four ships' into Lyttelton Harbour. Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on July 31, 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand. In 1893 New Zealand women achieved a first in the world when they won the right to vote. This significant event was honored in 1993 when the Kate Sheppard Memorial, a commemoration of Women's Suffrage was unveiled on 19th September 1993. Canterbury's economy was built on primary products and Canterbury has long been recognised as living "off the sheep's back". Although its economic beginnings were in refrigerated sheep and dairy meats and other dairy products, Canterbury now has a diversified regional economy with growth across a range of "new economy" sectors. There is something different to see and do within a one or two-hour drive of Christchurch, in any direction. To the east lie the open ocean and Banks Peninsula, featuring sheltered bays, sandy beaches, bush-clad valleys, rocky coastline, and high, wild places. Boating, tramping, a visit to the wineries, and the French settlers’ harbourside village of Akaroa are key peninsula attractions. To the west, past fertile plains and braided rivers, are forested foothills and lakes. Beyond them lie the tallest mountains in Australasia, the Southern Alps, strung out parallel to the coastline. Mountain passes with delightful alpine villages break the almost impenetrable divide and deliver the traveler to the West Coast There is a choice of western routes and plenty of ski areas on the way. A journey north reveals green rolling hills, forests, and long, empty beaches, with the whale-watching center of Kaikoura about 2 hours drive away, whilst an excursion to the south passes through farmland and crosses two more of Canterbury’s pristine rivers, ideal for fishing in, whitewater rafting or kayaking down. Mt Hutt, the premier commercial ski area close to the city, lies to the southwest. A day off-piste here allows jet boating, fishing, horse riding, or a round of golf.
Dunedin is a great place to live for people of all ages and lifestyles. Situated on the southeastern coast of New Zealand’s South Island, capital of the Otago Region, a city by the sea, surrounded by beautiful lofty hills, gracious distinguished buildings and white sandy beaches is Dunedin – a city to intrigue and enchant.
It has everything from the ultimate geography for outdoor recreation to a vibrant nightlife with top-class entertainment/theatre/music/restaurants/arts. Dunedin combines magnificent, historical architecture, modern industry, and business with dramatic scenery and wildlife reserves. It is a University City with a strong Scottish heritage.
Its striking bush-covered hills and valleys at the head of a long natural harbor attracted Maori settlers as long as four centuries ago. In 1848 Scottish settlers established a town there, bestowing upon it the ancient name of Edinburgh. Not long after the settlers’ arrival, gold was discovered in Otago and the then-small town of Dunedin became the commercial capital of New Zealand and the center for the nation's wealth.
Today, Dunedin is foremost a University City with some 10% of its (approximately) 115,000 population attending tertiary institutions.
Milford Sound is a fiord in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island. It’s known for towering Mitre Peak, plus rainforests and waterfalls like Stirling and Bowen Falls, which plummet down its sheer sides. The fiord is home to fur seal colonies, penguins, and dolphins. Milford Discovery Centre and Underwater Observatory offers views of rare black coral and other marine life. Boat tours are a popular way to explore.
Visitors feel humbled yet uplifted by the atmosphere of powerful solitude in the presence of the superb physical grandeur of Doubtful Sound. Sometimes called “the Sound of Silence” there is a cloistered serenity within Doubtful Sound that contrasts with Milford Sound. The fiord is rich in flora and fauna, New Zealand Fur Seals and Fiordland Crested Penguins can be seen on many of the small islets at the entrance of the fiord. At 421 meters deep Doubtful is the deepest of the fiords and is long and winding with three distinct “arms” and several outstanding waterfalls in the area from Deep Cove to the open ocean, a distance of around 40.4 kilometers. There are many ways to experience Doubtful Sound by a kayak or cruise, as a day trip, or on an overnight experience.
Dusky Sound was named by Captain James Cook on his first voyage to New Zealand in 1770. He did not enter the sound because it was getting dark and named it Dusky Bay. The Maori name for the sound is Tamatea after the legendary explorer who traveled the full length of the North and South Islands in his waka/canoe, the Takitimu.On Cook’s second voyage in 1773, when he spent several weeks exploring the fiord, he met several Ma¯ori family groups. They were Nga¯ti Mamoe iwi who lived in Dusky Sound and other remote fields as fugitives of northern tribal battles and formed the basis for romantic and exaggerated legends of a “lost tribe”.
