The small townships of the Bay of Islands are steeped in colonial history, and set against a patchwork of gently rolling farmland and ancient forests of venerable kauri trees.

For most, however, it is the coast that is the highlight. The 144 islands are scattered in the clear Pacific waters, which are abundant with marine wildlife. In the countless secluded bays, seals, dolphins and whales are often sighted.

Exploring the Bay of Islands

Take to the water to fully appreciate the area鈥檚 natural beauty, either on a Cape Brett and 鈥楬ole in the Rock鈥� cruise from Paihia, or sail out on board the 鈥楻. Tucker Thompson鈥�, built in the style of a 100-year-old schooner. Highlights include swimming with dolphins, or game-fishing for some of the world鈥檚 largest marlin, tuna and shark.

Diving

The area is also well-known for its diving; a string of wrecks along the coastline from Tutukaka in the south to Matauri Bay in the north has created a refuge for marine life, and the clear and protected waters of Deep Water Cove offer consistently good diving conditions throughout the year.
