This charming town is the perfect base for exploring the Bay of Islands.
Russell holds an important place in New Zealand's history, being the country's first seaport, its first European settlement and New Zealand's first capital in nearby Okiato. The town's streets retain their original layout and names from 1843, and many of its historic buildings can still be visited today. New Zealand's first licensed hotel, bar and restaurant, The Duke of Marlborough is located on the waterfront in the historic village of Russell.

Getting to Russell from Paihia is easy, with passenger ferries every 15 minutes from Paihia Wharf. But it’s just as easy to take your car over, so you have the freedom to explore on the other side. The car ferry to Russell departs from Opua every 15 minutes, so you never have long to wait. This is a great option for families.
After visiting Waitangi treaty grounds, I took ferry to Russell, and walked around the town centre.
