  • The Bay of Islands is one of the most popular holiday destinations in New Zealand and its idyllic beaches and numerous leisure activities are truly appealing. This beautiful bay stretches over 16 km (10 miles) of inlet and encompasses many little bays and peninsulas like Purerua and Cape Brett. The region also has great historical significance, since James Cook discovered the bay in 1769 and the first European missionaries landed here in the early years of the 19th century. These days, little towns steeped in history, such as Opua, Paihia, Russell and Kerikeri, are inviting places to immerse yourself in the exciting past of the Bay of Islands and enjoy its unspoilt natural scenery.
