A 5-day trip to Bay of Islands, New Zealand
Subtropical coastal waters, maritime history, and island hopping
Encompassing 144 subtropical islands off Northland's east coast, the Bay of Islands centers around the historical hub of Russell, the bustling marina wharf of Paihia, and the lush agricultural inland of Kerikeri. Famous for marine sanctuaries, secluded coves, and significant early Maori-European treaty grounds, it is New Zealand's premier warm-water aquatic escape.
