About Chatham Islands
If total isolation and wilderness excites you, the Chatham Islands may just be the destination you have been searching for. Located east of the South Island, the Chatham Islands are approximately a 100 minute flight from Wellington or Christchurch! The Chatham Islands are 45 minutes ahead of standard New Zealand time, and are the first to see the light of every new day - a fact that made the islands famous at the time of the new millennium. With a population of just under 700 and an extremely exposed but temperate climate, the Chatham Islands really are the 'last place on earth'! The contrast of rugged coastlines and towering cliffs, volcanic peaks, lagoons and peat bogs, empty beaches, remote farms, wind-stunted vegetation and dense patches of forest makes the Chatham Islands a mysterious and wild adventure.
