Bay of Islands
The Bay of Islands has been a centre of Maori culture for centuries, with whalers, missionaries and early settlers also leaving their stamp.
The Russell Museum
The Russell Museum details the development of the region’s hub, Russell-Kororareka, from a tiny Maori fishing village to a busy tourist town and port of call. It houses a one-fifth scale model of Captain Cook's Endeavour, Maori artefacts including a small waka (traditional canoe), game-fishing mementoes, temporary exhibitions and a shop selling interesting gifts, souvenirs and books.
