Bay of Islands

Idyllic Destination

Just 237 kilometres north of New Zealand's major airport city on the North Island, Auckland, or a matter of about three hours driving, the Bay of Islands comprises mainland townships and close to 150 islands, many virtually untouched by civilisation.

Not only is it a romantic and idyllic New Zealand holiday destination but the Bay of Islands is, in fact, the cradle of New Zealand nationhood with historic Waitangi within its precincts.
