On North Island, seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, which shapes when visitors plan their travel. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Native birds such as tūī and kererū are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
