Northland

Much of Northland's extensive coastline remains unspoilt - an aquatic playground for adventure activities and escapist relaxation. Whangarei and Opua are havens for international and local yachts; Tutukaka and Russell are game fishing hot spots; the beaches of Doubtless Bay are endlessly beautiful.

The birthplace of a nation History has always been made in Northland. The Hokianga Harbour was the first Polynesian landing place, Russell was New Zealand’s first capital and the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in the Bay of Islands.

Beaches and islands You can’t escape the ocean in subtropical Northland - nor would you want to. Sail around the Bay of Islands, swim with dolphins, dive a wreck or snooze under the pohutukawa trees.

All kinds of indulgence Fine wine, gourmet food, world class golf, sumptuous spas and luxury lodges - these are passions that Northland understands. For travellers who want to pack more pleasure into their holiday, the sky’s the limit.
