Bay of Islands

The Bay of Islands is a New Zealand gulf that includes more than 140 subtropical islands adjacent to the country's North Island, and is famous for its picturesque beaches, fishing and artifacts belonging to the Maori (the indigenous people of New Zealand), and it is also home to the 19th-century Port Russell, which includes the remains of the colonial state . Enchanting landscapes, golden beaches and fresh seafood make the Bay of Islands one of New Zealand's top tourist destinations.
