Auckland is New Zealand’s most populated and cosmopolitan city. Situated on the coast, the area offers everything from surfing and yacht charters, to museums and galleries. For a further taste of culture, Wellington, the country’s capital, is also home to many national programs such as ballet and opera. The region surrounding Martinborough produces superb wines including a renowned Pinot Noir. Many consider Rotorua to be the adventure capital of the Island with rafting, caving, rock climbing, bungy jumping and more. Along with many adventure attractions, the North Island, rich in history, is also known for many Maori cultural attractions such as the Maori Treasure Complex in Wellington and Tamaki Maori Village in Rotorua with traditional Hangi meals and cultural performances.
