The North Island is a special and unique place to visit. It is probably most known for the city of Auckland - its splendid harbours frame an environment that's alive with cultural excitement, urban fun and marine challenges. Nearby is the fascinating local culture of the Coromandel; it has a special blend of beach life, gold rush history and creative artistry. The planet has some unusual places and Rotorua is one of them. Geothermal phenomena and Maori Culture will astound you. Not far from Rotorua lies the Bay of Plenty, its extraordinary coastal beauty allows you to relax and indulge in all kinds of adventure possibilities. Nearby Lake Taupo is an awe inspiring lake created by one of the world's most exciting volcanic eruptions.
The capital of New Zealand - Wellington, is a city of two tales; it's all about art, theatre and music, and also about a region of blockbuster scenery.
