Also called "Te Moana-a-Toi", it was named "Bay of Plenty" by British explorer James Cook during the 18th century, as he found the region rich with natural resources.

And "Plenty" couldn't be a better word to describe this incredible part of the world - one of the most popular tourist destinations in New Zealand.
