Okahu Passage Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Okahu Passage sits between Waewaetorea Island and Okahu Island, giving you a sheltered anchorage with that classic Bay of Islands combination of white sand beaches and steep grassy hills rising straight from the water. The setting is genuinely striking, with calm, clear water tucked between the two islands. Drop the hook in 7–10 metres over good holding ground and you've got one of the more scenic spots in the bay largely to yourself.
