During our time in the Bay of Islands, we decided to do a Dolphin Tour with Great Sights. Seeing 17 different islands, including the "Hole in the Rock", as well as getting of in Paradise Bay and Russel for a small tour around. The whole day was great. We saw a lot of dolphins and even a shark, went swimming in Paradise Bay and had a delicious fish burger in the habour of Russel.

I would definitely recommend taking a tour in the Bay of Islands on a sunny morning. It is truly the best thing you can do there.
