Waitangi Treaty Grounds

Waitangi, about 3 kilometers away from the town of Paihir, is one of New Zealand's more important historical sites. In 1840, the British royal family and more than 500 Maori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, here. Today, the treaty signing site provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about Maori culture and historical events related to the signing of the treaty. You can visit the Treaty House; you can also see the carved marae and one of the largest surviving Maori war canoes; and at the visitor center, you can watch entertaining and informative explanations. Waitangi is not only a great place to learn about New Zealand's history, but it's also a beautiful area worth exploring. Treaty House stands proudly within an open, peaceful parkland, with stunning views from the semi-formal gardens surrounding Treaty House to the 6km forest walk to Haruru Falls. On the coastline, you have a panoramic view of the ever-changing bay scenery. You can see warriors, whalers, sailors and New Zealand settlers constantly coming and going here.

In the evening, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset and Auckland's night views. Beyond regular sightseeing, the tower also offers a range of high-altitude experiences. SkyWalk lets visitors walk on a handrail-free walkway around the tower exterior at 192 m high, led by a professional guide and secured with safety ropes, suitable for thrill-seekers. SkyJump involves jumping from 192 m along a guide cable, with descent speeds reaching approximately 85 km per hour. Group visitors can also join the Skyline climb activity, reaching about 300 m to overlook the city up close.
