Northland sits at the northernmost tip of New Zealand's North Island. The number of times the word 'north' appeared in that sentence should tip you off about how easy it is to navigate your way here; just follow the map upwards, basically.
Once you get to Northland, you'll be in a region where Māori settlers first arrived more than a thousand years ago. Since then, so much has changed, but the Māori past and present can still be experienced through a range of amazing cultural attractions that are among the most rewarding things to do in Northland.
