What motivated Captain James cook to explore?
James Cook was chosen to explore. With his experience and skills, he was an ideal candidate for the scientific and exploration missions upon which he set out. His explorations were simply him following orders. Cook's original mission was to observe the transit of Venus from the vantage point of Tahiti. Cook was then under secret orders to try to find the great unknown southern continent, and claim it for Britain. In so doing, he charted the eastern coastline of what he called "New South Wales" (now Australia), making extensive notes on the people, flora, fauna and prospective suitability for colonisation, and reported back to England. It is significant that, contrary to popular belief, James Cook did not discover Australia. The continent he explored had been discovered over 150 years before, by the Dutch and possibly even the Portuguese before then. It was upon the success of this first mission which then caused Cook to be selected for later, specific missions.

What interested James Cook to do such a brave thing traveling to New Zealand?
It was not personal interest that motivated James Cook as much as his sense of duty. He was following orders. James Cook had just completed a scientific mission in Tahiti, that being the observation of the transit of Venus across the sun. He was then under secret, sealed orders to sail west and try to find the unknown great southern continent which was believed to exist. On the way, he came across New Zealand which had already been discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642. Seeing the islands were unoccupied by Europeans, Cook took the oportunity to chart New zealand and claim it for England.
