Things to see and do Doubtless Bay

The Maori name of Doubtless Bay is Opoe. The bay was probably named Doubtless by Captain James Cook in 1769. The latter, who could not enter, would have remained in uncertainty about his character. At the same time, a Frenchman, Jean-François Marie de Surville, anchored the bay. Much less tourist than Bay of Islands, it is just as beautiful, if not more. It is intact, wild and certainly much calmer.
