Museums/historical Places

The Bay of Islands is rich in history, from the early Maori to the first European settlers in the nineteen century.

In the heart of the Bay of Islands you find the settlement of Waitangi - the site of the first signing of the Treaty, hence it's naming the Treaty of Waitangi. There are a number of historic sites to visit in the area and some excellent museums that portray life from another era.
