Motutapu Island lies just to the northeast of Auckland in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand’s North Island. At 178 million years old, Motutapu Island has a rich and fascinating cultural heritage dating back to the Maori people who first settled there. Scattered across the grassland are numerous archaeological sites and a number of World War II military remains, too. Its landscape contrasts to the volcanic and mountainous neighbouring island of Rangitoto. It’s characterised by gently rolling hills and idyllic bays, and, thanks to an intensive restoration project, it’s now a pest-free island with an array of rare animal and plant species. As a popular day trip from Auckland, there are frequent sailings back to the city from Motutapu Island which usually last around half an hour, operated by popular local 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.
