The Chatham Islands - New Zealand's Last Frontier

The Chatham Islands are the last frontier of a country known for its pristine landscapes, rich indigenous culture and remarkable wildlife.

The Orkneys and Shetlands of New Zealand, the Chathams are low lying and undulating with an abundance of long quiet sandy beaches, stunning scenery, diverse wildlife, fresh seafood cuisine and warm welcoming hospitality from the six hundred people who call the islands home.

The islands are the perfect place to get away from it all, to enjoy an action-packed holiday, view its unique fauna and flora, or to learn about the remarkable history of a unique pacifist people, the first people to inhabit the Chatham Islands - the Moriori.

Be touched by the power of the sea, the past, and the raw beauty of the Chathams, New Zealand's last frontier.
