Hamilton
The mighty Waikato River runs through the region. At 425km from end to end, it is the country’s longest river. As well as providing recreational opportunities, the river drives eight hydro dams.
The Waikato region is a diverse region of lush green hills, bush and farmland, stunning surf beaches at Raglan, and magical limestone glow-worm caves at the underground world of Waitomo. The region's hub is the city of Hamilton - a vibrant city of parks and gardens, fine cuisine, cafés, culture and attractions. The city is also known nationally for its education and scientific research institutions.
