Home Destinations North Island East Coast Saved to favourites Head to East Coast (or Eastland) and be one of the first in the world to see the sunrise! East Coast is as far east as you can get. Its city of Gisborne is the most easterly city in the world, getting the day’s sunrise FIRST. You’ll also find a strong cultural affiliation too, with the Maori language still a part of everyday life. The cool things continue behind the wheel when exploring the stunning, awe-inspiring coast via State Highway 35. Along the way the deep blue dishes up plenty to do: catch a surf, drop a line deep (real deep!), or go diving. Maybe stay on the land for a beautiful beach walk, bushwalk, a spot of golf, sit back waterside with a glass of wine, or save the legs and take a horse trek. From sun-up (the first in the world, remember), to sundown, East Coast amazes. View Gallery Discover Tours & Holidays There's no tours or holidays available for this destination.
