Bay of Islands Vacation Packages
The Bay of Islands is one of the most popular destinations in all New Zealand. Mile after mile of white sand beaches and rocky coastline surround the bay, which is dotted with 144 islands, amazing sand dunes and a few tiny, yet charming towns. It is hugely popular as a summer retreat and getaway for those around Auckland. The best thing to do in Bay of Islands is a boat trip on the water where visitors will see dramatic rock formations, lush green islands, beautiful sandy beaches, a variety of native birds, and, if you are lucky, dolphins, seals, and whales as well.
