The Kauri Coast is a quiet, stretch of coastline on the western shores of Northland. It has a facsinating history and some spectacular coastal scenery. A highlight is the magnificent Waipoua Kauri Forest, northern New Zealand's largest remnant of kauri forest.

At Matakohe, discover New Zealand heritage at the internationally acclaimed Kauri Museum. This museum charts the history of the local community who were so dependent on the mighty kauri tree.

Dargaville is a lovely town nestled on the banks of the Northern Wairoa River. It has several places of interest. Visit the Big River Art Gallery, Dargaville Museum and the Zizania paper Mill.
At Kaipara Harbour take the rugged unsealed road to historic Kaipara Lighthouse. Further north be sure not to miss the Waipoua Kauri Forest and crystal clear Kai Iwi Lakes, or take a night tour of Trounson Kauri Park Mainland Island.

Most accommodation providers on the Kauri Coast have a display of literature about the area, they can advice you about local dining, places to see and things to do, even book your activities for you. We have more than 60 activities on the Kauri Coast. Please ask your hosts for details
