Located in the Northland region, this bay encompasses 144 subtropical islands, coves of golden sand and crystal clear waters inhabited by dolphins, penguins and billfish. It is the birthplace of modern New Zealand, home to the historic Waitangi precinct, where the treaty between Maori chiefs and the British Crown was signed in 1840. In addition to its cultural heritage, the region offers scenic cruises, internationally renowned wreck diving, coastal hiking trails and charming fishing villages such as Russell and Paihia.
