North Island

Welcome to the North Island of New Zealand, or as the Māori call it “Te Ika-a-Māui” reflecting the local legend of how the demigod, Māui, fished the North Island out of the ocean. With that, the North Island is New Zealand’s main hub for culture but that’s not all that makes this island unique. It’s the island with the largest lakes, the longest rivers and the most active geothermal activity making for some exceptional landscapes to explore.
