Bay of Islands is an incredible area situated in ‘Northland’ – in the northern part of the North island. It includes towns like Opua, Paihia, Russell and Kerikeri and also a vast area with numerous islands, between Cape Brett and Purerua Peninsula.

The Waitangi Treaty Grounds (New Zealand’s most important historic site) are an absolute must-do when you are at the Bay of Islands. Rich in history and stories of the momentous events which shaped New Zealand as a nation.

Paihia is the main tourist centre. The ideal location to stay in and use as a base to  do the popular tours by boat or other activities in the area.

The best way to discover the beauty of these islands is by renting a boat, a kayak or getting on board one of the many daily cruises.
