Paihia, New Zealand
Paihia is a small waterfront town on the Bay of Islands, a subtropical stretch of coastline dotted with 144 islands in New Zealand's Northland region. It is the departure point for island cruises, dolphin-swimming trips, and the famous 'Hole in the Rock' boat tour. Across the bay, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds mark the site where the Treaty of Waitangi — New Zealand's founding document — was signed in 1840 between Maori chiefs and the British Crown.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided Paihia walking tour with audio narration. Use it to explore Waitangi Treaty Grounds, Bay of Islands, Hole in the Rock, plus hidden gems like Russell and Opua Forest without booking a group tour.
