-- About this video –

We are still travelling the Gisborne region of New Zealand, otherwise known as Eastland, Tairawhiti Gisborne, the East Coast of New Zealand or the East Cape. The first stop on our East Cape travel itinerary is the East Cape Lighthouse where it is the one of the first places to see the first sunrise in the world. The East Cape Lighthouse is a New Zealand lighthouse you can’t miss. 

Next, we check out the “historic tree” otherwise known as the oldest pohutakawa tree in New Zealand, the pohutukawa tree in Te Araroa. After that, it’s just a few awesome beaches and bays in the East Cape including Waihau Bay. 

So what do you think of this lighthouse in New Zealand? Would you add the East Cape Lighthouse to your East Cape travel itinerary? LUK in the comments.
