Rangitoto Island is the youngest volcano in New Zealand, situated to the north-east of Auckland in the Hauraki Gulf. Emerging from the ocean just 600 years ago, Rangitoto now offers fantastic hiking trails through lush vegetation reaching 259 metres high. The island is home to the largest pohutukawa forest in the world as well, a large tree renowned for producing vibrantly coloured red leaves. As a pest-free environment, Rangitoto is also the habitat for a wide range of rare birds including tieke, saddleback and kakariki, making it a brilliant destination for birdwatchers. Rangitoto Island makes a great day trip from Auckland, so there are frequent sailings every day back to Auckland Harbour and Devonport, a suburb north of the city centre. The ferries depart from the eastern tip on the coast facing Islington Bay and the neighbouring Motutapu Island.
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.
