WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN GISBORNE
Gisborne, the most easterly city in the world, is the first city on the planet to see the light of each new day; it’s where Māori landed their voyaging waka (canoes) in the 14th century after navigating across the Pacific Ocean; it’s home to Millton Vineyards and Winery, the first producer in New Zealand to gain Bio-Gro certification for organic wine production in 1989; and it’s not far from Rocket Lab, the world’s first private rocket launch pad at the tip of Mahia Peninsula.
Take time to check out these places in and around Gisborne and soak up some history before you head out on the road.
When visitors come to, known as in Māori. You can also drive up if steps aren’t your thing.
