Northland Region, Administrative region in northern New Zealand.

The Northland Region spans across the northern peninsula of New Zealand, bordered by the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean with numerous bays and coastal areas.

The region marks the location where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, establishing formal relations between Māori chiefs and the British Crown.

Northland maintains strong Māori traditions through its tribal groups, including Ngāpuhi and Te Rarawa, who preserve their language and customs across the territory.

Visitors can access the region through regular bus services and rental cars, with accommodation options ranging from hotels to camping sites throughout the area.

The Waipoua Forest contains Tāne Mahuta, New Zealand's largest kauri tree, measuring over 50 meters in height and estimated to be over 2,000 years old.
