Waikato

Waikato is home to some of the richest farmland in the country, but is best known to visitors for its vast underground cave systems in Waitomo.

Overground, this farming heartland contains fertile soils, reliable rainfall and kind temperatures. If you have pastoral inclinations, spending some time in the Waikato is a must on your itinerary.

Underground, water and limestone have created one of New Zealand's most popular visitor attractions - the Waitomo Caves. Gigantic sink holes and underground streams provide huge scope for blackwater rafting and glowworm adventures.
