Great experience. going to Russel is a perfect location if you're off a cruise ship. Great food or coffee can be found in Russell plus the landscape is a perfect spot to take photos.
We live locally and often take this sweet little ride across to Kororarekareka for breakfast and coffee. Great service and scenery that is world class. A must do.
Beautiful trip from Paihia to Russell. This trip was fantastic and provided me with some scenic views over this short trip. The staff members are friendly and helpful from the start till the end. They provide you information off the beautiful area and the history of Russell or Paihia. It is perfect for your friends and family and for the young and old. So for now I really recommend this beautiful trip.
a very nice place to visit. . we were here in 2007, a boat is what you have to do here. dolphins along the boat. a lunch on an island. is special. i loved it .. just do it.. The Bay of Islands is a New Zealand enclave encompassing more than 140 subtropical islands next to the country's North Island. It’s known for its undeveloped beaches, big-game fishing and Maori cultural artefacts. It's also home to the 19th-century whaling port of Russell, whose waterfront promenade is lined with remnants from its days as the country’s first colonial capital.
This was a great way to spend an afternoon in Bay of Islands. Took a ferry from Paihia to Russel, go to the museum, stroll along the beach, walk up to Flagstaff Hill and back to Paihia via ferry. I watched people catching fish, as I admired the sunset. It was dark by the time I took the return ferry. But this was equally enchanting. Went up to the rooftop to immerse myself in the star-filled sky. Highly recommend!
