Things To Do
Bay of Islands Boat Cruise
There are plenty of different daily boat cruises. We highly recommend a day trip including the Hole in the Rock and Urapukapuka Island.
Omata Estate Vineyard & Kitchen
Omata Estate is a stunning place to visit if you like a lunch with a view! Enjoy a cheeky vino or three with picturesque views of the bay of islands while enjoying a rustic wood fired pizza. They also have local craft beers, coffee, soft drinks, sangria jugs & much more! Bookings recommended!
Russell
Take a short ferry ride from Paihia to the charming and historic town of Russell. The bay is characterized by its stunning coastline, with crystal-clear waters and lush, green hillsides creating a serene and inviting atmosphere to explore. A must do is have a drink at the Duke of Marlborough which has been refreshing rascals and reprobates since 1827.
Tane Mahuta
For those wanting a trip slightly further afield, a must see in Northland is the majestic Waipoua Forest.
Waitangi
If you are after a bit of New Zealand culture, visit the Waitangi Treaty grounds to learn a bit about historic New Zealand and the Maori culture.
