Fishing

The Bay of Islands is famous for fishing. American author Zane Grey immortalised the Bay with "Tales of the Angler's Eldorado" published in the late 1920s.

Bay of Islands Fishing is some of the best in New Zealand with numerous fishing charter boats offering half day snapper fishing, full day kingfish and gamefish experiences, and longer private charters. We do request that you catch only what you can eat and put the bigger fish back - we want the Bay of Islands to be abundant with fish for generations to come!
