NZ TRAVEL TIPS
The Waikato Region
The Waikato is the region south of Greater Auckland. It has two distinct and spectacular landscapes - one above ground, the other below.
Above ground is dominated by the serenity of the Waikato River and the rich rolling green of productive farmland.
In the Waitomo area, south of Hamilton, there’s a natural underground world to discover. Massive caverns are adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Visitors can experience the caves either by way of a sedate walk and boat ride or by joining an adventurous caving trip.
