Some of the best diving in the north island!!

The Hen and Chicken Islands, off the coast of northern New Zealand, are a group of islands known for their diverse bird life and unique flora. Captain James Cook named them in 1769 because they looked like a hen with her chicks. These islands were once home to the Māori Ngā Puhi iwi and have since become a wildlife refuge. With stunning landscapes, rocky ridges, and important bird populations, the Hen and Chickens offer a glimpse into New Zealand's natural beauty and rich history.
