The Open Bay Islands are located off the south-west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The group comprises two main islands Taumaka and Popotai plus several smaller islets and rocks. They lie approximately offshore from the Okuru River mouth, near Haast and are owned by Poutini Ngai Tahu. Taumaka is the larger island (c. , long and wide reaching a plateau above sea level) and is separated from Popotai ( long and wide) by a narrow channel.
==Wildlife== The Open Bay Islands support several endemic species, including a terrestrial leech (''Hirudobdella antipodum''),〔〔 an undescribed gecko species (''aff. Hoplodactylus granulatus''),〔Hitchmough, R., Bull, L. and Cromarty, P. (compilers) (2007) "New Zealand Threat Classification System lists— 2005", Dept of Conservation, Wellington.〕 and a skink - the Open Bay Islands skink. Taumaka Island has been identified as an Important Bird Area, by BirdLife International because it is a breeding site for Fiordland penguins.〔BirdLife International. (2012).
