About Gisborne

Affectionately known as 'Gizzy', Gisborne is New Zealand's most easterly city and the first to see the sun! Located at the north end of Poverty Bay, the main attraction in Gisborne is the glorious sea.

Thrash around in the waves and learn to surf, feed the stingrays in Tatapouri, give rocksliding a go or simply take a walk along the beach and explore areas of pristine beauty. 

Gisborne is also well known for the wine it produces, being the third largest producer in New Zealand of wine grapes after Malborough and Hawke's Bay. If you want to learn more about Gisborne's wine industry and think you'd quite enjoy some taste testing, why not take a tour of one of Gisborne's vineyards?

Gisborne is steeped in rich Maori and European history. Many years ago, the first few waka (canoes) that landed in New Zealand first came to Titirangi Hill, Gisborne. A culturally significant place to New Zealand and the region, this is an integral part of Maori history and legends. Visit the Tarawhiti Museum to see early Maori artifacts and photographs.

Surrounded by hilly forestland and the sea, Gisborne has many spectacular walks providing incredible views. Many of these walks are short and easy that can be done by anyone. Take a look at this link for more information about Gisborne's walks.

The popular Rhythm and Vines New Year's festival is held in Gisborne each year attracting people from all over New Zealand.
