PAIHIA...Bay of Islands..

Well Hubby and I have finally set a date after quite a few years to go away somewhere....on our own without kids so all booked in to LURRRVVLY place in Paihia...YAY!!!!


Now...what are some great things to do up there tried and tested!!!

Yeah I agree with what Anna suggested go swimming with dolhines is always cool, just walking along the beaches is nice too.

How long you going for hun?

I really recommend the Cape Reigna trip but it takes all day (and a long day at that), with the weather like this it will be just stunning. And you'd get to go sand boarding which is so much fun as well as a picnic at the beach. You spend a fair amount of time on the coach but it's so worth the travelling to see this view;





Even going over to Russell for lunch or something is lovely and relaxing.

We did this too - saw loads of wildlife and dolphins and wasn't at all seasick (unlike the Kaikoura Whale Watch )

Highly recommend it

Edit for typos!

There are some yummy places but some are so overpriced it's ridiculous because it's a major tourist spot.
But I definitely second (third/fourth lol...) the cape trip and the swim with dolphins trip...we didn't get to see dolphins but got to see orca whales which was probably even more special.

Hope you have a lovely time.

We went up there for our honeymoon coming up 4yrs ago and we did a trip that went around all the different little islands that they used to pick up the milk from I think it was called the Cream trip tour it was a fullers cruise it was awesome, we also went on the Aqua Duck that was neat as well
