Features

Waipoua forest

The drive on State Highway 12 provides a good introduction to the beauty of the Waipoua Forest. It winds through magnificient stands of tall kauri, rimu and northern rata, and offers extensive views in a few places. Good walking tracks give easy access to the most spectacular attractions of the forest: the giant trees Tane Mahuta, Te Matua Ngahere and Yakas. A few tramping tracks and routes are also available for those who wish to venture deeper into the forest, especially in the high plateau and ranges.

Waipoua Forest is one of the best examples of kauri forest in New Zealand. It is famous for having the two largest living kauris (Tane Mahuta and Te Matua Ngahere), which are easily accessible. Associated with the neighbouring Waima and Mataraua Forests it is also the largest remaining tract of native forest in Northland. The Waipoua Sanctuary was created in 1952 to protect 9105 hectares (22,762 acres) of unlogged forest, after one of New Zealand's earliest conservation controversies.

The forest has the largest population of North Island brown kiwi in Northland, and a small population of kokako in the high plateau country.
