Bay of Islands luxury vacations hand-crafted by our New Zealand specialists.

With more than 140 subtropical islands in the northern part of New Zealand, it’s no surprise that the Bay of Islands is a beach-lover’s paradise. 

Laced by sandy, wind-swept shores and filled with an abundance of activities, it’s here that you can find the warmest water in New Zealand, the biggest kauri tree in existence and the collision point of the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea (a place of great spiritual significance for the Māori people). For those drawn to the water, swim with dolphins in their natural habitat, dive at a renowned marine reserve, or explore caves and formations by kayak. 

Rather stick to dry land? Drive the Twin Coast Discovery Highway between the rugged east coast and the sophisticated west, dine at a quayside café, or take a stroll through an ancient forest. 

Wherever you go, expansive views over the endless ocean are yours to enjoy.
