Northland
Northland boasts a sub-tropical climate, diverse landscape ranging from pristine white beaches to rugged coastline and holds immense Maori significance. With a large Maori population, strong tradition, and culture, it's the perfect region to integrate and learn about the indigenous people of New Zealand. It is the home of Tane Mahuta - the Lord of the Forest, a giant Kauri tree located in the Waipoua Forest.
At the very tip of the North Island, where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean collide is Cape Reinga. According to a Maori legend, it is the tail of Maui’s fish and the place where the spirits of the deceased leave their homeland. Take your pick of beaches, there are so many to choose from, including Ninety Mile Beach and Matauri Bay. Spend your days swimming, horse riding, surfing, sandboarding, and fishing.
