Bay of Islands

The Bay of Islands, located in the Northland Region, consists of more than 150 scattered islands, making it a renowned fishing and sailing destination in New Zealand. Its enchanting islands, endless beaches, and expansive bays create a relaxed and leisurely way of life.

The coastline of the Bay of Islands has remained unspoiled by humans, maintaining its natural state — a paradise for outdoor adventure and spiritual escape. It's brimming with the endless charm of the ocean and exudes the gentle allure of island life. Its beauty captivates, enchants, stays unforgettable, and lingers in the heart. Visitors can take a ferry or rent a boat to immerse themselves in the blue or turquoise-hued islands, paddle to hidden corners among the isles, or enjoy the thrill of swimming with dolphins.

The best way to explore the Bay of Islands is by sailing. Visiting without going out on the water is almost like not coming at all. Cruising around the bay offers a new experience — sensing its vastness and openness, feeling its tranquility and peace, and savoring its elegance and depth.
