Paihia and Waitangi
Sights

Getting out on the water is a highlight of the Bay of Islands whether on the ferry crossing from Paihia to Russell or on a trip. The coastal areas are also lovely places to stroll, especially in summer. Those who love to fish will find the charter providers all have their secret spots to snag the big one.
