On the Water

Taking part in the many activities on the water is a great way to get out amongst the islands. For many people the huge variety of watersports and water-based activities is what makes a holiday in the Bay of Islands such a joy!

There are 144 islands in the Bay for you to explore by sea. Some of the larger islands provide excellent anchorages - they have sandy beaches, scenic walking tracks and clear blue water ideal for snorkelling and kayaking. As for what’s on offer, you're pretty spoilt for choice. We have everything from boat trips to cruises to fishing to Kayaking and everything inbetween.
