Doors open at 09:00 and close at 20:00 each day, with the same hours applying on public holidays.

Summer in New Zealand runs from December to February, the reverse of the northern hemisphere, so December trips bring long daylight hours for exploring the Bay of Islands. English and Māori are the everyday languages, and a greeting in either is welcomed in shops. Fresh seafood, lamb and dairy feature heavily in local cooking, and the supermarket is where many visitors assemble the ingredients for a self-catered meal. Small earthquakes are a normal part of life here, sitting as the country does on the boundary of two tectonic plates.
