🌍 Gisborne, NZ | Where the Sun Kisses Earth First! ☀️

📍 "The Coast Bathed in Sunlight" (Māori: Tūranganui-a-Kiwa) – First city on Earth to greet the sunrise! 🌅 🚐 Super-Commando Itinerary (Te Puke → Gisborne → Te Puke in 1 Day!) ⚠️ *10-hour drive* – Rotate 3 drivers! ⚠️ Download offline maps! Mountain roads + fog + no signal + ice risk = white-knuckle ride! 🏔️💨 🌅 Itinerary Highlights: 1️⃣ Sunrise at Wainui Beach Arrive 20 mins early (weather changes fast – ours turned cloudy! ☁️). Toilet tip: Ask nicely at the nearby school! 🏫 2️⃣ Stingray Encounter ($65) @ Dive Tatapouri Wild but friendly rays – they come for fish snacks! 🐟 Wade in waist-deep + hear their quirky backstories (no tail touches!). Non-English speakers: Bring a translator app! 3️⃣ Cook’s Cove Walkway 🥾 (Top-tier spot!) 20-min hike to sunrise views (or explore the sea cave + "Hole in the Wall"). Feels like Stewart Island! – Sheep poop galore 🐑💩, then epic cliffs + hidden coves. 4️⃣ Tolaga Bay Wharf (660m!) 🎣 NZ’s longest pier (built 1929) – now a fisherman’s paradise. 5️⃣ Café 35’s Abalone Pie 🥧 Detour 78km – but worth every flaky bite! 💡 Pro Tips: Stay overnight if you hate rushing! Hiking gear > cute outfits (trust me). "Chasing dawn here isn’t just scenic—it’s spiritual." #GisborneNZ #SunriseChaser #NZRoadTrip #StingrayWhisperer #WHVAdventures
