Paihia Tours & Activities | Top Things to Do in New Zealand Bay

Nestled in the breathtaking Bay of Islands, Paihia serves as the perfect gateway to uncover New Zealand’s northern charm. Surrounded by turquoise waters and lush green landscapes, this laid-back town invites visitors with its relaxed atmosphere, stunning views, and endless possibilities for adventure. Whether you’re a nature lover, a history enthusiast, or simply seeking a coastal escape, Paihia has something for everyone.

A Glimpse Into the Past

Originally a Maori settlement, Paihia has played a pivotal role in New Zealand’s history. The signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, a foundational event shaping the nation, took place just a stone’s throw from town in 1840. Today, remnants of its vibrant past blend seamlessly with modern attractions, offering a unique insight into the culture and heritage of the region.

Best Time to Visit

Although Paihia welcomes visitors year-round, the summer months from December to March are especially popular, with warm weather and calm seas perfect for water activities and boat tours. If you prefer quieter surroundings and mild temperatures, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are ideal.

How do I get there?

Paihia is easily accessible by car or bus from Auckland, with the scenic drive taking around three hours. Regular coach services connect Paihia with major North Island destinations, making it hassle-free for travelers.
