New Zealand’s sunny Bay of Islands is a favourite holiday destination, but few people make it past the tourist centres of Paihia, Kerikeri and Russell.
Surely sailing into the spectacular Bay of Islands at sunrise must be one of the highlights of cruising around the New Zealand coast. Drifting into the spectacular Bay of Islands with its 144 islands scattered all around you, with the trademark crystal clear jewel coloured waters is truly a sight to behold.
