The township of Paihia is a ferry ride from Russell whether traveling directly by ferry or by car using the car ferry. Paihia is one of the more popular seaside resorts in Northland and can be used as the gateway to the Bay of Islands for adventure activities and sightseeing. Whether you want to jump out of the sky, dive under the ocean or explore the shore, Paihia can point you in the right direction.
 In Waitangi in 1840 a treaty between Maori chiefs and Queen Victoria's representatives was signed "to make us one people". This controversial historical document today forms the legal basis for righting the wrongs and harmonising our society. The treaty house, marae, and surrounding grounds provide an interesting insight into early New Zealand history.
Waitangi is also home to the picturesque Waitangi golf course.
The picturesque Haruru falls were once a plentiful source of food.
Take the time to visit the northern most tip of New Zealand.
