Hamilton & Waikato Region
Situated in the heart of the North Island, the Hamilton & Waikato region is well-known for its nature-based tourism, underground adventure and iconic Waikato River.
The region offers something for every visitor, from Hamilton’s urban attractions to the stunning black
sand surf beaches of Raglan and countless walking trails through the rolling hills and ancient bushclad
mountains that shape the landscape.
At the centre of the Hamilton & Waikato region are its towns and main city of Hamilton, one of New Zealand’s fastest growing and most vibrant cities. All come with great shops and galleries, fantastic eateries with top events and visitor attractions to match.
The subterranean world of black water rafting, glow worms and cave exploration at Waitomo Caves will be a hit with any adrenalin junkie, while the finer things in life, including boutique golf courses, gourmet eateries and rejuvenating natural spring spas are also found throughout the region.
The Hamilton & Waikato region’s proximity to other destinations also makes it the perfect base for exploring the wider central North Island.
