Flying Nun Backpackers

About us

This remote and seldom visited region boasts a beautiful rugged coastline and sleepy towns with a rich Maori culture.

 

It is sparsely populated with very few facilities and it's a good idea to stock up on groceries and use the ATM in Gisborne or Opotiki before venturing out here.

 

Gisborne & East Cape

 

New Zealand's remote East Cape is one of the first places in the world to see the sun rise. It is one of the country's least visited places and it offers a spectacular rugged coastline and is a great place for travellers who want to get off the beaten track.

 

Gisborne

 

Flying Nun Backpackers caters for international surfers. Apart from being the first city west of the International Date Line, Gisborne is a sunny place with palm tree lined streets and some good beaches and vineyards nearby. Not many travellers make it here and most people who visit Gisborne are driving up to the East Cape to surf.

 

This is what we are about… good times for all.
