Urupukapuka Island

One of the 144 islands located in the gorgeous Bay of Islands, Urupukapuka Island is our favourite! It’s easily accessed via ferry and offers a stunning place to explore or relax.

It is a tale of two sides.

On one side, a lovely walking track winds its way through native bush and down to hidden bays and beaches where the soundtrack to this holiday will be waves and bird song - Paradise Bay is our favourite place for a swim!

On the other side at Otehei bay, there is a beach side bar and restaurant with live music where you can just relax and enjoy the summer vibes with a local wine in one hand and the camera in the other as you take in the sights or enjoy the variety of watersports that this side of the island is known for.
