Gisborne & Eastland Tourism New Zealand
Gisborne, the first city in the world to see the sun each day, is located on the sunny East Coast of the North Island.

The Maori name for the district is Tairawhiti which means "The coast upon which the sun shines across the water". Kaiti Beach, near the city, was where the Maori immigrational waka, Horouta, landed; and is also the first European landing place in New Zealand.
