This historical land is the final resting place of the great Tainui, Aotea and Tokomaru waka's...The famous migratory canoe's.

These isolated settlements of Kawhia, Taharoa, Marokopa, Tongaporutu, Aotea and Raglan, are located on the rugged coastal regions of Waikato King Country...and North Taranaki.

This is awesome pony and horse riding country at its best...traversing miles upon miles of isolated ocean beaches and ancient Maori warrior trails...that take riders across stunningly scenic...coastal, forestry and farm trails...
