Discover the very roots of New Zealand's human history in a region blessed with a spectacular range of coastal scenery and bathed in subtropical warmth. From ancient forests to a coastline rich with quiet coves, white sand beaches and mangroves, Northland is a place of contrasts.
Thanks to New Zealand's wide variety of landscapes, getting to your destination will be a unique and enjoyable experience. Driving distances are short, with towns and main centres never very far apart. Roads can be windy and may challenge drivers used to driving mainly on multilane motorways.
The 2010 edition of our destination-nz.com Visitor Guide is here! Invaluable to New Zealand travellers, particularly if you are wanting to travel independently and make your own plans.
