Waikato

The Waikato is a region of lush, green hills, bush and farmland, with exceptional surf on the West coast. The beautiful Waikato River carves its journey through the landscapes, and intersects the region's hub, Hamilton- a city of education and scientific research, parks and gardens, fine cuisine and cafes, culture and attractions.

Throughout the region discover bush-clad mountains, stunning waterfalls, hot mineral pools, beaches and, of course, the magical limestone glowworm caves in Waitomo. Travel off the beaten track for more memorable views and experiences. Charming small towns are dotted throughout the region, each one with its own specialities.
