ALL OVERNIGHT TRIPS MUST BE BOOKED ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE. PLEASE BOOK EARLY.

 

Bay of Islands is located in Northland and it gets its nickname “the winterless north” because of the 2000 hours of sunshine and warmth the region is drenched in each year. The area is also full of history: Hokianga Harbour was the landing place for Maori explorers’ first canoes over 1,000 years ago. The combination of warm weather, history, geographical diversity and natural beauty makes the far north a must see!
