Understand

edit

The Alderman Islands is a small archipelago to the east of the Coromandel Peninsula in the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand. The islands are sufficiently offshore to enjoy the cleaner waters associated with New Zealand's offshore islands, but are close enough to visit as a day trip from the mainland.
