Mayor Island Description
In the northwest of the Bay of Plenty, some 35km north of Tauranga, is Mayor Island, formed from an extinct volcano 387m high, with two craters containing lakes. There are remains of a fortified settlement on the hill.

Mayor Island is a favorite of deep-sea anglers. Every year in late summer and autumn (December to May) there are great angling competitions in the waters round the island.

There are boat trips to Mayor Island from Tauranga and Whangamata.
