Ferry from Russell to Paihia, where your walk starts 700m from the centre of Paihia. This is a pleasant walk that is 4 km return (2 km each way) through regenerating native forest to a viewpoint overlooking the bay. From the viewpoint, you can see the Bay from Ōpua to Waitangi and over the Russell peninsula to Urupukapuka Island and Cape Brett in the distance.
Meander back down to Charlotte’s Kitchen which is situated on the end of the Paihia Wharf in a superb spot for one of their lovely lunches. Lunch will be in the delicious Asian fusion style they are well known for. Delicious dumplings, pork bao buns are a few of the treats on offer. The perfect way to finish the Bay of Islands Walking Weekend.
