The Hokianga Harbour has a fascinating history - both Māori and European. Explore the small settlements of the Hokianga on your way around Northland.

Te Hokianga-Nui-A-Kupe marks Kupe’s influence within the history of the Ngāpuhi tribe. Many iwi (Māori tribes) trace their ancestry back to the legendary Polynesian explorer Kupe who, with his people, voyaged far across the southern ocean to find New Zealand. The people of Hokianga claim Kupe’s waka first landed on the shores of the Hokianga Harbour.
