Paihia: Known as the Jewel of the Bay of Islands, Paihia was the site of New Zealand's first church, made of reeds. Its stone replacement, the Church of St Paul, is still used for worship. A ferry links Paihia with Russell, and Waitangi is just a 25-minute walk. Leisure activities both in the town and its surrounds are diving, water skiing, fishing, sky diving, golf and cruising.
