The Bay of Islands New Zealand and beyond

Use this section of the site to find out more information about the Bay of Islands New Zealand - the townships, the events, the area's history. You can source information on the numerous walks and a little bit about the ecology of this subtropical destination.

There is also useful information listed, including local services and transport to and from the Bay of Islands NZ as well as the regular annual events that take place - from the Tall Ships Race in January to the Bay of Islands Jazz festival in October.

We've also painted a picture of the wider region, sharing information about the other places you will probably want to visit when you visit the Far North, such as the west coast and the "real" far north. 

Remember, if you can't find the information you need, just email our team and we can answer your questions. We are available throughout the year to help you plan your trip before you arrive in the country and to guide you through the region once you get here.
