NZ Bay of Islands by Araluen

There are 144 islands in the Bay of Islands together with some of New Zealands most beautiful waterways. It formed when the sea drowned a number of river valleys, creating an irregular and attractive coastline of more than 800 km. Today, it is a popular resort for both locals and tpurists alike, and being in a sub-tropical climate zone, the bay of Islands has warm humid summers and mild winters. Sailing, cruises around the islands and Russell and a trip to Cape Reinga are just some of the attractions.
