The Bay of Islands is sometimes known as 'The Winterless North' - although that's a bit tongue-in-cheek it is true that the weather in this part of Northland is usually mild in the winter and hot in the summer. The weather is one reason why the Bay is a popular destination for outdoors activities and families looking for a good beach. It's pretty normal up here to bring your boat up on a trailer, chuck it in the water, and go out into the islands for a great day of island cruising, fishing, swimming...Here's some weather links to show the current weather and the weather forecast for the Bay of Islands area.
No boat? You can easily hire a boat or join one of the sailing trips or fishing boats - just remember to book ahead!
