Waitangi Treaty Grounds, New Zealand's most important historic site, is where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and the indigenous Maori in February 1840. Set on a stunning site overlooking the Bay of Islands, Waitangi is an absolute must-see for all visitors to the North, international and New Zealanders alike. Attractions include the historic Treaty House, a giant flagstaff, a unique fully carved Maori meeting house and the the world's largest single-hulled canoe (waka). Guided tours and cultural performances run at regular intervals throughout the day. Open daily except Christmas.

Six nights a week the marae is transformed into a magical setting where performers from the Culture North night show tell visitors to Northland the real story of New Zealand. A contemporary production combining drama, music and dance, the show relates the traditional story of how two cultures; Maori and European, settled in New Zealand.

"Swimming with dolphins was such an experience! The weather was gorgeous, the sea was a nice temperature and we were fortunate that the circumstances were right so we could actually have a 20 mins swim amidst the dolphins. Seeing dolphins swimming by just inches underneath you is a sight I will not f..."orget, nor the sounds they make when they approach.
Compliments to Dolphin Discoveries for accommodating such a great day. In total we spend approx. 4 hrs on the boat, which also included a further cruise through the Bay and we saw some amazing secluded beaches.
I'd very much recommend everyone to go and do this swim!

"If you're in Paihia, you have to go and visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. It gives you an impression of what life was like back in the day when the English and Maori signed the treaty. It was also great to learn more about the Maori culture."
