Waitangi Treaty Grounds
There are countless reasons to visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, the birthplace of our nation. It’s an extraordinary feeling to stand at the very spot where Te Tiriti o Waitangi was first signed by Māori chiefs and the British Crown on 6 February 1840.
Included in your admission are a one-hour guided tour which culminates in a kapa haka performance in the intricately carved Te Whare Rūnanga, two contemporary museums, live demonstrations in the carving studio, and the world’s largest waka taua (war canoe)- all of which are located on extensive grounds overlooking the Bay of Islands.
