The Bay of Islands is a world renowned tourist destination, made up the townships of Paihia, Waitangi, Russell and Kerikeri.

Paihia is base to some of the world’s best deep sea fishing charter boats as well as many other sea-borne activities offering experiences ranging from a leisurely sail, to tearing around the Bay of Islands in a jet boat.

Waitangi is where, in 1840, NZ’s founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed.
A visit to Paihia is not complete without adding a visit to the magnificent Waitangi Treaty House and grounds which offer spectacular views over the bay.

Russell is one of the oldest towns in New Zealand and apart from being New Zealands first capital city, was also once host to whaling ship crews who indulged in the many (now closed!) brothels and drinking establishments that sprang up during the 1800’s.

Kerikeri is a horticultural hub with extensive orchards, with plenty of roadside stalls so you can experience some of the growers produce.
A visit to Kerikeri would not be complete without a visit to The Old Stonehouse down by the river.
