Taking the return ferry from Paihia to Russell is a scenic and relaxing way to explore New Zealand’s first capital. The short cruise offers beautiful views across the Bay of Islands before arriving in historic Russell, where you can stroll along the waterfront, visit the Russell Museum, relax on Long Beach, or enjoy lunch at a seaside café. It’s an easy half-day trip combining history, charm, and coastal scenery.
