The story of Kauri: The Greatest Tree in New Zealand

Immerse yourself in the world and stories of kauri, New Zealand’s largest and most famous native tree, at the Kauri Museum. 

Operating for over 60 years and located between Auckland and the Bay of Islands, the Kauri Museum is famous for its historic collections based on the kauri trees. 

Explore the story of the kauri tree past, present and future, as you browse through the various exhibitions, including an interactive Forest Walkway where visitors are taken back in time and introduced to the Māori dimension of the story.  

Celebrate all things to do with kauri before exiting through the shop to pick yourself up a piece of Kauri gum as a unique souvenir.
