Bay of Islands
The Bay of Islands is famous for its beautiful coastal scenery
and is one of North Island's major attractions. The bay is
interspersed with numerous little coves, inlets and sandy beaches,
and the historical townships of Paihia, Waitangi and Russell are
the central hubs of the area, from where an unbelievable array of
activities and tours can be arranged. Sailing and boat cruises
around the islands are the main attraction, but the natural
surroundings and warm waters of the bay make it an ideal place for
kayaking, swimming, diving and fishing. The bay is also of
historical significance as the place where the Treaty of Waitangi
was first signed between the European settlers and Maori chiefs in
1840.
