About the Bay of Islands

The region of Northland and the Bay of Islands stretches north from Auckland, towards the warm waters of Polynesia, the ancestral home of New Zealand's first inhabitants.

The relaxed, sunny lifestyle of Northland springs from its subtropical climate and the myriad of beautiful Islands, bays and beaches around the coastline. The people of the North have a passion for water sport—surfing, boating, game fishing, sailing and diving. They also have a deep appreciation of the region's fascinating Maori and European history.

Much of Northland's extensive coastline remains unspoilt—an aquatic playground for adventure activities and escapist relaxation. Whangarei and Opua are renowned throughout the Pacific as attractive havens for yachts.

You'll find that Maori culture is still very much alive in this region, with around one-third of the population being Maori, and you'll also enjoy the shopping, dining and entertainment possibilities that stem from the distinctive local culture—which embraces art, creativity, organic farming and alternative thinking.

The Bay of Islands is an aquatic playground lavishly furnished with 144 islands and a myriad of secluded beaches.
