South Island's native birdlife is easy to spot, with tūī and kererū common, while dolphins, fur seals and seabirds gather along the coast near Kaikōura. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear on signs throughout the country. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert both belong to New Zealand food culture. Because the country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, small earthquakes are common, a detail worth knowing on any South Island journey.
