Waikato

Waikato is named after the longest river in New Zealand and this upper north region is absolutely beautiful. The Waitomo Caves is nothing short of spectacular, to experience this glowworm lit cave you must go cruise on a canoe or on a raft. Waireinga (The Bridal Veil Falls) is a 55 metre waterfall, and can be accessed from the beach town Raglan. The Blue Spring at Te Wahiou Walkway is a lovely walk in the country side of Waikato, and is the main source for bottled water in New Zealand. Waikato is nothing but breathtaking.
