Food & Culture

Food

New Zealand has developed a distinct Pacific Rim cuisine. Expect to indulge in plenty of seafood, award winning cheeses and of course their famous lamb. You should also expect a laidback, friendly atmosphere wherever you eat; Kiwis love to keep things casual.

Language

English is the primary language spoken in New Zealand.

Culture

With a patchwork history of Māori, European, Pacific Island and Asian influences, New Zealand’s population of five million people is a melting-pot of cultures.

Māori culture is an integral part of life in New Zealand, influencing everything from cuisine to customs, and language. Māori are the indigenous people, of New Zealand.
