Bay of Islands Travel Blogs

The next day, after a good sleep, we took af with a boat for spotting dolphins. We were lucky, because after 10 minutes we saw the first once already. The next stop was at the rock with a hole in it. We went around it and took of to a beach were we had time to catch a sunburn (I did...) and have a …

We woke to rain this morning, but it was still warm so it didn't matter.  We headed into the town to decide what we would do today, we were going to go on a boat ride but as it was raining and not very clear we decided against doing this, instead we got the ferry over to Russell where we explo…

Ik zit heerlijk in het zonnetje op een van de Bay of Islands. De Kiwi Experience bus waarmee ik NZ ga doorcruisen was 1 uur te laat. We konden een heleboel activiteiten boeken waaronder: paardrijden, skydiven en kanoen. Ik koos voor de cruiseboot. Volgens de leuke buschauffeur is dit iets…
