Paihia is the gateway to the Bay of Islands experience
Paihia, the main tourism center for the Bay of Islands, is situated on the east coast of the upper North Island where the Waikeri and Kawakawa rivers meet. It is a beautiful spot year round for all types of family entertainment.
Activities include adventure sports, sailing, and sightseeing, and the cafes, bars and great variety of accommodation make Paihia the perfect holiday destination. Whether you want to jump out of a plane, dive under the sea, or just explore the shore, Paihia has it all.
The Waitangi National Reserve, St Pauls Church and other historic sites, safe beaches and walking tracks are only a short distance from the Paihia town centre. Its central location makes Paihia the hub of the Bay of Islands.
Paihia accommodation includes a range of apartments, bed and breakfasts, backpackers, lodges, homestays, farmstays, hotels, and motels. There is accommodation to suit every budget.
Overseas yachts arrive here first, after crossing the South Pacific Ocean, and the many charter sailboats based here will take you on scenic cruises around some of the bay’s 144 spectacular islands. Here you can paddle a kayak along the coast or up the rivers, try parasailing above the bay, relax on the beautiful beaches, play golf on international standard courses, and of course there’s plenty of fine wining and dining to be enjoyed in Paihia’s top bars and restaurants. Paihia accommodation includes Abel Tasman Lodge with sea views, and Nautilus Resort with its selection of luxury apartments.
Good Paihia accommodation options include Allure Lodge, Blue Pacific Luxury Apartments, Nautilus Resort and Abel Tasman Lodge.
