Voyage to the birthplace of New Zealand – Northland

As the landing point for the Maori explorer Kupe and the settlers who followed him, Northland is the spiritual birthplace of New Zealand. Experience this ancestral home on a waka, learning about the history of the land from a unique vantage point.

I would highly recommend visiting Northland, especially for Kiwis. I'll grant, it's a bit of a drive if you say, got off the ferry in Wellington, but it's a special place.
