About Eastland and Gisborne

Eastland reaches out to the Pacific Ocean, and is the first mainland place in the world to see the sun each day. You will find bush fringed misty mountain lakes, beaches that have hardly changed for hundreds of years, farmland and vineyards that breathe the spirit of nature.

There are many interesting and beautiful walks within the region, but one of the most stunning areas for hiking and trekking is in the Te Urewera National Park, the third largest national park and the largest untouched native forest in New Zealand. Soft adventure is also available, such as horse trekking, and is another way to experience the magic of Eastland.

In contrast with the splendid seclusion of the forested hinterland, Gisborne is a city where you can indulge in gourmet dining and wine tasting. You'll find the Southern Hemisphere's first commercially grown black truffles, the finest cheeses and Chardonnay to die for.

Gisborne's white sand surf beaches attract surfers from all over the world—Captain Cook was the first, his ship Endeavour surfed into Kaiti Beach in 1769.

There are many types of different activities in Eastland, including:

• Swim with blue and mako sharks in a specially designed snorkelling cage
• Go surfing—a local surf guide will take you to where the waves are
• Visit the wineries—Gisborne is recognised as the Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand
• Catch a fishing charter—experience the great sea fishing that Eastland is famous for
• Trout fishing in outlying rivers—grab a guide and hit the riverbank
• Saddle up and go horse trekking over farmland trails and along beaches
