Walkway the Bay of Islands (Full circle)

Finally: a ‘Full Circle Day Walk’ including two ferry crossings in the Bay of Islands

You can start the walkway anywhere in Russell, Okiato, Opua or Paihia and use the ferry between Opua/Okaito and Russel/Paihia.

On your way you will most likely see birds like the Tui, Fantail, Kingfisher, Pukeko and with a bit of luck even see dolphins when crossing with the ferry. 

What a way to have a sportive start of your holiday with Bay of Islands Campervans. Along the track there are plenty of café’s and restaurants to choose from, stay at one of these camping grounds:  Beachside Holiday Park (beautiful view and you can swim in the bay) or Top 10 Russel (top-restaurants within walking distance from your campervan)
