The Bay of Islands has a more temperate climate than Auckland, almost sub-tropical. Aptly named, the Bay is studded with islands providing an area of varied geographic beauty and unspoiled sailing grounds. There are innumerable anchorages, great fishing and diving and white sandy beaches within sheltered waters.

The Bay of Islands being further north, on average always seems to attract warmer temperatures and sunnier skies than Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf
