New Zealand food goes way beyond fish and chips and barbeques – our chefs have developed a distinct Pacific Rim cuisine. Expect to indulge in plenty of seafood, award-winning cheeses and of course, our famous lamb. You should also expect a laid-back, friendly atmosphere wherever you eat; we Kiwis love to keep things casual.

Tourism New Zealand worked closely with the Kiwi Muslim Directory to provide this guide, which gives an overview of the many Halal food 3 options available.

Te Puia, Rotorua North Island Enjoy shopping, dining and all that Auckland has to offer

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest and most diverse city, and main transport hub. The region is home to 1.5 million people and is also the largest Polynesian city in the world. Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and enchanting islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food and shopping, and you’re beginning to get the picture. More than just a city, Auckland is a whole region full of things to see and do. Best of all, with so many experiences close by it’s easy to hop from one adventure to the next.

Auckland city is dotted with 48 volcanic cones, which provide spectacular panoramic views of the city and harbour. Many are surrounded by green parklands, providing perfect picnic spots. Rangitoto Island, just a 25-minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland, is the region’s most iconic volcano and a favourite day trip destination for visitors.

Auckland’s diverse landscape provides countless opportunities to get immersed in nature. In the west, native rainforest 6 plunges down the hills to meet the sea on dramatic black sand beaches, while the east’s sheltered golden sand beaches are fringed with red-flowering pohutukawa trees. To the north, the rolling hills meet pristine coastlines and in the south you’ll find picturesque country gardens, pastoral scenes and tranquil bays to explore.

When the explorer James Cook arrived in 1769, he anchored off a great bay “full of plantations and villages” that he described as “a bay of plenty”. In this region of great natural abundance, the coastal city of Tauranga is a lovely place to enjoy fresh seafood, kiwifruit and avocados from dozens of surrounding orchards and gardens.
