    Over a hundred islands, sunny weather (the locals call it 'The Winterless North'), and a generally relaxed disposition make the Bay of Islands a perfect place to visit.

    Reliable winds, safe anchorages, and stunning viewpoints mean that any sailing trip is going to be amazing. There's quite a few old seadogs living in their boats in the Bay, taking people out for a day or a few days - the best way to see the islands.

    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

    Posted by Paihia 9 August 2007

    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?
