The Kauri Coast is a quiet, less frequented 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, Kauri Gallery, Dargaville Museum and the Zizania Mill.

At Kaipara Harbour take the rugged unsealed road to historic Kaipara Lighthouse. Further north be sure not to miss the Qaipoua Kauri Forest and crystal clear Kai Iwi Lakes, or take a night tour of Trounson Kauri Park Mainland Island.
