Poor Knights Islands


The Poor Knights Islands are a group of islands off the east coast of the Northland Region of the North Island of New Zealand. They lie to the north-east of Whangarei, and offshore half way between Bream Head and Cape Brett. Uninhabited since the 1820s, they are a nature reserve and popular underwater diving spot. The Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve surrounds the island.
