North Island (overview)
  • The finest beaches in New Zealand, lovely islands, world record game fishing, yachting, diving, and the heart of Maoridom.
  • Spend a day with a Maori chief of the country’s most warlike tribe: Nga Puhi.  See the battlefield where the Maori invented trench warfare, the hot pools where wounded warriors bathed and recuperated, and the stately grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed with the British.
  • Swap your car at 90-Mile Beach for quad bikes and a wilderness whizz on a pure white silica sand beach – sand so pure it was used for making glass.
