New Zealand
Its a real outdoorsy place, a lot of people up here go out fishing and sailing evry weekend.
There's really no better way to get out and see the islands.
Go fishing and catch yourself a whopper, jump on a sailboat and feel the waves under you, or hit up a jetboat ride (best in waves if you like adrenaline!).
There's a heap of accommodation option as well, everything from campsites to hostels and luxury apartments.
Bay of Islands, Northland, New Zealand

The Bay is a very chilled spot, maybe one of the best places in NZ to get on a boat and go out into the ocean. Great fishing, a great outdoors life, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, what more could you want?
