Bay of Islands
Welcome to Bay-of-Islands.NZ.com, a website dedicated to providing information about the Bay of Islands,
New Zealand. Find your perfect hotel or other
accommodation for your stay, or book something to do in the
tours or activities section.
The Bay of Islands is one of the most picturesque and popular holiday sites in New Zealand,
combining great outdoor experiences with some of New Zealand's most significant historic sites.
Cruise from Auckland, or start your holiday in
Paihia, the hub of the Bay of Islands,
where many tours by both land and sea begin.
The Bay of Islands was the site at which the earliest contact between the indigenous
population and European settlers took place. Visit
Waitangi to see the treaty house, where
New Zealand’s founding document was signed by Maori and Pakeha leaders.
Russell, once the rowdy and bustling
capital of New Zealand, today maintains a lively and casual island feel due to its isolation from
the mainland. From here walk north to Flagstaff Hill, a reserve that was once the scene of a
historic confrontation between Maori leader Hone Heke and the British Colonials. The flag pole
flying the Union Jack was severed four times before war settled the dispute.
Kerikeri, the earliest permanent
settlement in New Zealand, houses some of the country’s oldest buildings, bush walks, arts and
crafts and local cuisine.

As well as the peace and relaxation of the beaches and fishing and sailing opportunities,
the Bay of Islands provides for the thrill seekers; one of the most popular attractions is the
Hole in the Rock, off Cape Brett. You can take a boating trip through the hole in a huge rock
outcrop. Here you can also swim with the local common and bottlenose dolphins, or take a diving
trip to see the final resting place of the Rainbow Warrior wreck.
