"Bay Of Islands" a Paihia Travel Page by littlebush

Paihia is the main town in the Bay Of Islands. Its only a small place, holding around 4000 people, but can double in oeak season. Its not built up at all, and is a great place to just chill out! Theres heaps to do too, from cruises around the islands, to hiring your own boat out, to chillin on the beach, to gettin hammered at night. Within a few hours drive are others interesting sights, like Cape Reinga and 80 mile beach. Paihia is about 4 hours drive from Auckland and enjoys a sub tropical climate all year!
