The tiny island of Motuihe lies to the east of Auckland, New Zealand in the Hauraki Gulf. As a pest-free recreation reserve with clear waters, sandy beaches and exciting bush hiking trails, Motuihe Island makes a fantastic day trip from mainland New Zealand, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling cities. The island has an interesting history as well; it began as a Maori settlement but was eventually used a quarantine during the scarlet fever outbreak in the 19th Century and later developed into a naval training base during World War II. Since then, it has been transformed into a haven for various rare bird species including kiwis and tuatara, making it an excellent birdwatching spot, too. Ferries from Motuihe Island depart from the north, where you can sail back to Auckland in around 30 minutes with one of the city’s leading ferry companies.
New Zealand can be found on the south east side of Australia and is made up of two main islands and a number of smaller islands. The two main islands known as the North Island and South Island are separated by the Cook Strait. The five largest inhabited islands aside from the main 2 are Stewart Island, the Chatham Islands, Great Barrier Island, d'Urville Island and Waiheke Island. The South Island is the largest landmass of New Zealand, and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps. The North Island is less mountainous but is marked by seismic activity. New Zealand is a land of magnificent beauty and contrasts. Nature reigns supreme. Unspoilt coastlines, lush vegetation, amazing wildlife and a moderate climate make it ideal for visitors wanting to enjoy the outdoors or simply relax. The country's dynamic culture has European, Maori, Pacific and Asian influences. The Kiwis, as the New Zealanders are well known as, are a hospitable and friendly bunch. New Zealand features in the top ten of places travellers would like to visit and chances are you've never meet anyone who has been and didn't love the place. In terms of ferry travel, the two main islands are connected by a 55 mile service across the Cook strait. The ferry journey itself is widely acknowledged one of New Zealand's most iconic sightseeing experiences.
