If you want to discover the coves and beaches of the Bay of Islands, Paihia is a good place to start. Cruises of all descriptions leave from the wharf daily year-round.
Paihia makes an excellent base for exploring the Bay of Islands. It has an extensive choice of accommodation and a good-sized town centre. From the wharf you can arrange a trip to the outer islands, hook into a fishing expedition or catch ferry to Russell.
Top local adventures include cruising to the ‘hole in the rock’ at the tip of Cape Brett, finding dolphins (and maybe swimming with them) and sea kayak tours. Paihia is also just down the road from the historic Treaty House at Waitangi Treaty Grounds, which marks the beginning of New Zealand as a nation. Just west of Paihia is Haruru, where you’ll find an impressive waterfall and a boardwalk.

The Bay of Islands ,New Zealand
Version en français plus bas .
The Bay of Islands is an area on the east coast of the Far North District of the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of the most popular fishing, sailing and tourist destinations in the country, and has been renowned internationally for its big-game fishing since American author Zane Grey publicised it in the 1930s. It is 60 km north-west of the city of Whangarei. Cape Reinga, at the northern tip of the country, is about 210 km by road further to the north-west.
La baie des îles est une zone sur la côte est du district du Grand Nord de l'île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande. C'est l'une des destinations les plus populaires de pêche, de voile et de tourisme dans le pays et a été renommée à l'international pour sa pêche au gros jeu depuis que l'auteur américain Zane Grey l'a publié dans les années 1930. C'est à 60 km au nord-ouest de la ville de Whangarei. Cape Reinga, à l'extrémité nord du pays, se trouve à environ 210 km par route au nord-ouest.

TOP 3 THINGS TO SEE - Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand
As you stroll round, Bay of Islands today, you’re walking back in time. The town’s original street plan and names from 1843 are still intact and feature some of New Zealand’s oldest and most significant historic buildings. Russell Kororareka was developed initially as a shore station for shipping. The European population grew, with a mixture of deserting seamen, runaway convicts, and grog sellers, as well as settlers and traders. The township thus gained a reputation as a lawless and rowdy port and the unflattering nickname “Hell Hole of the Pacific”. Many of the buildings seen in Russell Township now are dated back to these times, and during your stay, you will be able to discover more about the amazing stories that these buildings hold.
