Be the first to see the sun rise

That’s what Gizzy, as the locals call it, is most famous for: Gisborne is one of the very first places in the world to see the daylight. Wainui Beach, just a short drive from the city, is the best spot to catch a glimpse of the sun as it rises above the Pacific Ocean. The memorable experience is guaranteed to make an early morning start well and truly worth it.
