Thank you for watching and please SUBSCRIBE for more videos on New Zealand and Australia.
Note: I might add, the Kia bird is found in the Alpine areas of the South Island. While I am talking about animals in the entire country I want to be sure everyone knows they won't find wild Kia birds on the North Island - sorry for any confusion.
Exploring the Charms of New Zealand's North Island

From the bustling metropolis of Auckland to the geothermal wonders of Rotorua and the pristine beaches of the Bay of Islands, the North Island offers an array of experiences for every traveler.
Begin your journey in Auckland, the "City of Sails," where modern skyscrapers stand juxtaposed against the city's natural beauty. Climb the iconic Sky Tower for panoramic views of the harbor and Hauraki Gulf, or stroll through the lively waterfront precinct of Viaduct Harbour lined with cafes, restaurants, and superyachts.
Venture south to the geothermal wonderland of Rotorua, where the earth comes alive with bubbling mud pools, steaming geysers, and colorful mineral springs.

Set sail on a scenic cruise to discover secluded coves, pristine beaches, and abundant marine life, including dolphins and penguins. Visit the historic town of Russell, New Zealand's first capital, and delve into the region's whaling and maritime heritage.
Further south lies the cultural hub of Wellington, renowned for its thriving arts scene, eclectic cuisine, and vibrant waterfront. Explore the interactive exhibits at Te Papa Tongarewa, the National Museum of New Zealand, or take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque waterfront promenade.
