• Tane Mahuta Walk - Tāne Mahuta is the largest known living kauri tree in New Zealand, situated in the Waipoua Forest, Northland. Often referred to as the “Lord of the Forest,” it is believed to be over 2,000 years old. With a height of approximately 51 meters and a trunk circumference exceeding 13 meters, Tāne Mahuta holds a sacred place in Māori culture. It is considered the offspring of Ranginui (the sky father) and Papatūānuku (the earth mother), who separated his parents to bring light into the world. This natural marvel is a must-see, symbolizing life, growth, and a deep connection to nature.
• Te Matua Ngahere Walk - Te Matua Ngahere, meaning “Father of the Forest,” is among the oldest and widest known kauri trees in New Zealand, also located in the Waipoua Forest. Estimated to be over 2,500 years old, it stands about 29.9 meters tall and is particularly renowned for its enormous trunk circumference of over 16 meters, making it the stoutest kauri tree known. In Māori tradition, Te Matua Ngahere embodies wisdom, endurance, and profound ancestral ties. Visiting this tree offers a powerful and humbling experience.
• The Kauri Museum - The Kauri Museum in Matakohe, Northland, is a leading cultural attraction dedicated to the rich history of New Zealand’s kauri forests and the pioneering era. Covering 4,500 square meters, it is the largest indoor visitor attraction north of Auckland.

The museum showcases extensive exhibits on the kauri timber and gum industries, including the world’s largest collection of kauri gum and kauri furniture. Visitors can explore life-sized reconstructions of pioneer rooms, operational machinery from the era, and interactive antique items. A highlight is the full-scale circumference outlines of massive kauri trees, some even larger than Tāne Mahuta.
