The breath-taking Bay of Islands The breath-taking Bay of Islands Many people come to the Bay of Islands with marlin in mind. Zane Grey, the great American western writer and big game fisherman, pitched a tent and caught his first marlin here in 1926. He made sure the world heard about this "Angler's Eldorado"! Today enthusiasts come from all over the globe in pursuit of marlin, broad bills and game sharks. You can take part in competitive tournaments or hire a boat for your own fishing trip.

If being on the water is not for you how about spending time in the warm northern sunshine on a secluded beach, reading a book, taking a walk or just lazing around. Quad biking, horse trekking, historical sites and museums, galleries and wine tours add to the local attractions. Visit a resort or day spa specialising in a variety of spa and beauty therapy treatments.
