New Zealand people
New Zealand's friendly and down-to-earth people will be one of the things you treasure most about your visit. With a patchwork history of Māori, European, Pacific Island and Asian cultures, New Zealand has become a melting-pot population - but one with some uniting features that make it unique in the world.
Today, of the 4.4 million New Zealanders (informally known as Kiwis), approximately 69% are of European descent, 14.6% are indigenous Māori, 9.2% Asian and 6.9% non-Māori Pacific Islanders.
Geographically, over three-quarters of the population live in the North Island, with one-third of the total population living in Auckland. The other main cities of Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton are where the majority of the remaining Kiwis dwell.
Early Voyagers
Over four hundred years before Christopher Columbus and the rest of Europe worried about falling off the edge of the world; Maori people voyaged thousands of miles across the vast unknown Pacific Ocean in small ocean-going canoes and became the first inhabitants of Aotearoa New Zealand. To this day, Maori culture is a core part of New Zealand’s national identity. Rugged Pioneers
New Zealand’s European pioneers were also brave, rugged and independent. Before establishing farms and settlements, they had to first clear the land - a painstaking and sometimes dangerous activity. Their isolation and exposure to the elements forced these early New Zealanders to become hardy and multi-skilled.
Click on photo to watch video
This resourcefulness and ingenuity has greatly contributed to the New Zealand character. The same qualities can be seen today in the new pioneers - a generation of young Kiwi business executives, computer software builders, film-makers, fashion designers, and sportspeople making waves around the world. Backyard Genius
Since before Sir Ernest Rutherford ‘split’ the atom early in the twentieth century, Kiwis have been discovering and inventing things. Many of these inventions have literally been created in a backyard. While frozen meat, the Hamilton Jet boat, and the bungy jump are probably our most famous Kiwi inventions, there are many others.
New Zealanders are also responsible for the tranquilliser gun, seismic ‘base’ isolators (rubber and lead blocks which minimise earthquake damage), electric fences, the fastest motorbike in the world, freezer vacuum pumps, stamp vending machines, wide-toothed shearing combs, and the electronic petrol pump - to name a few! Kiwis love the great outdoors For the same reason that many visitors come to New Zealand, Kiwis have developed a passion for the outdoors and delight in activities that make the most of the spectacular landscape. With so much coastline, it’s little wonder New Zealanders love the water and it’s reputed that over 15% of New Zealand families own their own boat. Respected as superior yacht designers, Kiwis continue to dominate on the world yachting, kayaking, windsurfing and rowing scene. Hiking, camping, fishing, bush and beach walks are other popular outdoor pursuits. The more intrepid take to the mountains; following in the footsteps of perhaps the most adventurous Kiwi, Sir Edmund Hillary, who conquered Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, in 1953. Urban sophistication or taming the land? As members of a unique and multicultural society, many Kiwis have wholeheartedly embraced urban living, café culture and an appreciation for new culinary tastes, fashion and the arts. Kiwis are as likely to visit an Asian restaurant or modern art gallery as they are to attend a local rugby game. Whilst the lure of urban dwelling has ingrained itself on many, there is a sizeable rural population and farming is a major export earner. While the traditional exports of wool, meat and dairy products are still very strong, new products, including Cervena (New Zealand venison), flowers, fruit, biotechnology and wine are now also contributing greatly to our exports.

Travelling and Accommodation
Auckland International Airport is the country's largest and busiest airport, connecting with a large number of international and domestic destinations.
The airport has one terminal building for international flights and another for domestic flights, with a free shuttle between the two.
All major airlines serving New Zealand fly into Auckland Airport. Auckland is also well connected to the rest of the country with domestic flights operated by Air
New Zealand, Jetstar and other providers.
Transport Options
The airport is located 20km south of the city centre, in the suburb of Mangere.
Bus - SkyBus
NZ$17 Adult One Way - takes approximately 45-60 minutes
SkyBus is the airport-to-city bus transfer service that operates 24/7 from Auckland Airport. SkyBus departs every 10 minutes during peak time. 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. Please check their online timetable for departures.
Tickets are available online, from the SkyBus ticket kiosks (at Auckland Airport), or direct from your Driver (cash only sales onboard).
Shuttle
Approximately NZ$33 for one person.
A shuttle is a cost effective way to travel into the city and takes approximately 1 hour. Discounts apply if two or more people are travelling together -
approximately NZ$8 per additional person. Shuttles are normally shared with other passenger groups. The shuttle’s travelling time depends on traffic conditions
and the number of drop-offs or pick-ups along the way. Allow plenty of time to reach the airport for departing flights.
Taxi
Approximately NZ$75 to NZ$90 - about 30 minutes.
Taxi and shuttle ranks are located outside the arrivals area (door 8) at the international terminal and outside the Jetstar forecourt at the domestic terminal. The
journey between the airport and the central city can take considerably longer during peak traffic periods. If you’re travelling to the airport by taxi, make sure you
allow plenty of time. Taxis licensed to operate from the airport carry a value and service guarantee.
Car rental
Major rental car companies operate from both terminal buildings. Bookings are strongly recommended.
