New
Zealand's Northland
The
region of Northland and the Bay of Islands stretches
north from Auckland, towards the warm waters of Polynesia,
the ancestral home of New Zealand’s first inhabitants.
 The
relaxed, sunny lifestyle of Northland springs from
its subtropical climate and the myriad of beautiful
islands, bays and beaches around the coastline. The
people of the North have a passion for water sport
- surfing, boating, game fishing, sailing and diving.
They also have a deep appreciation of the region’s
fascinating Maori and European history.
Much
of Northlands' extensive coastline remains unspoilt
- an aquatic playground for adventure activities and
escapist relaxation. Whangarei and Opua are renowned
throughout the Pacific as attractive havens for yachts.
You’ll find that Maori culture is still very
much alive in this region (32 percent of the population
are Maori), and you’ll also enjoy the shopping,
dining and entertainment possibilities that stem from
the distinctive local culture - which embraces art,
creativity, organic farming and alternative thinking.
