Heritage Tour in New Zealand: Historical Attractions of Russell

Russell Mini Tour

A glimpse into NZ history through Russell's beautiful old buildings, museums and craft shops


Attractions and things to do - Heritage Tour in New Zealand: Historical Attractions of Russell

Visit historic Russell, a former Maori village, and see its beautiful old buildings, museums, craft shops and magnificent beaches. A peaceful and picturesque township set deep in the Bay of Islands, Russell is renowned as a big-game fishing centre and as a holiday town of major historical interest. Its tranquility belies the frantic activity of its wild early days when, as the centre of the first European settlement, it was known as 'the Hell-hole of the Pacific'.

When in Russell there's no better way to see the sights than on by mini-bus that visits areas which cannot be easily covered on foot. You'll see all the major sights of Russell, including Pompallier, Christ's Church, the Maritime Park Visitor Centre and the fabulous views from Flagstaff Hill.

Get a personal insight into New Zealand's first capital and European settlement on this historical tour.
