New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
