There is a fantastic selection of things to see and do in the Bay of Islands. You can enjoy things from the indulgent to the relaxed to some awesome adrenaline pumping activities! If you’re in need of some you time, you can treat yourself and relax with a massage or beauty treatment. Treat those taste buds and enjoy the locally caught seafood at one of the many cafes or restaurants on offer. Or if you’re feeling a little adventurous, head out with one of the local fishing boats and catch your own dinner!
Something else which is incredibly fun is taking a beautiful scenic flight over the Bay of Islands to take it all in from a bird's eye view! Go cruise to the Hole in the Rock, swim with the dolphins, try your hand at parasailing to 1200 feet (yikes!), or go sailing with the family through the 144 islands splattered around the place.
Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to explore the regions incredible historical past of the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and experience a Maori cultural show. The Bay of Islands has so much on offer, there is something to suit everyone!
You’ll find that each town in the Bay of Islands has its own unique culture and lifestyle, like Kerikeri which is known for their fantastic horticultural and vineyard lifestyle focus, to Paihia, the bustling and fun main hub of the Bay of Islands, which provides a wonderful visitor experience. You’ll find Russell across the Bay from Paihia. This sweet seaside town was once known as the ‘Hell Hole of the Pacific’. But thankfully today it is more affectionately known as ‘Romantic Russell’. You’ll be able to experience the relaxed atmosphere filled with lots of history, including the oldest licensed pub in New Zealand the ‘Duke of Marlborough’. If that’s not really your thing, then you’re bound to find something amongst the bars and restaurants along its foreshore. All in all, the Bay of Islands is a gorgeous place, whether it be to relax, enjoy some good food or sample some of New Zealand’s finest wines. Before you head home from your travels, you must make sure to enjoy a stunning Bay of Islands sunset. It’ll be the finishing touch to your trip.
