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 is an island nation in the south-west Pacific Ocean consisting of the North and South Islands, approximately 1,500 kilometres east of Australia. When it comes to awe-inspiring natural backdrops, New Zealand’s landscape tops the list. Glacial fjords, jagged mountains, rolling green plains, cascading rivers, active volcanoes and idyllic beaches fill this 268,021-sq-km nation. Also, with a population of just 4.6 million, it offers the ideal scenery for long, peaceful hikes. When it comes to urban areas, New Zealand doesn’t fail to deliver, either. The capital, Wellington is the cultural hub, characterised by Victorian architecture and a vibrant downtown, whilst the affluent Auckland, with its iconic Sky Tower, boasts superb restaurants and a superyacht-filled harbour. As a country comprising 2 main islands and numerous offshore islets, travelling by ferry is a popular way to get around New Zealand. There are plenty of fast crossings to the Hauraki Islands by Auckland, between the North and South Islands and to Stewart Island in the south.
