Welcome
Waikato is one of the world’s richest agricultural areas, and Hamilton is one of New Zealand’s fastest growing cities. Regional highlights include the Waitomo Caves and Raglan – home to one of the world’s best surf breaks.
Hamilton is known for its spectacular gardens and riverside activities. New Zealand’s largest river runs the length of the district and it’s great for kayaking and rafting. The Waingaro Hot Springs has New Zealand’s longest open hot waterslides.
North of Hamilton is Ngaruawahia, the home of the Maori king and the site of the historic Turangawaewae Marae.
