Hero Image of Waikato

The Waikato region tends to surprise people. Journeys move through open farmland and small towns before revealing glowworm caves beneath the hills and the magic of Hobbiton hidden in the countryside. Add coastal days on the Coromandel Peninsula and time around Lake Taupō, and the region feels broader, greener and more varied than expected.
