Northland Region Essentials

Northland contains some of New Zealand's most significant historical and natural landmarks. The Waitangi Treaty Grounds mark the nation's founding, while Kerikeri hosts the country's oldest surviving stone and wooden buildings. Natural highlights include the ancient giant kauri trees of Waipoua Forest, the towering sand dunes of Te Paki, and the spiritual meeting of two oceans at Cape Reinga. From the 26-meter drop of Whangārei Falls to the iconic Hole in the Rock in the Bay of Islands, the region showcases diverse coastal landscapes and deep Māori heritage.
