Living in an island nation means that most New Zealanders are never very far from the coast and, as a result, water sports are extremely popular. Visitors can view the landscape from the deck of a yacht or motor launch, indulge in a dinner cruise or combine boating with fishing, diving or whale watching. Get even closer to the water in a kayak or canoe.
