Ferry from Paihia to Russell in Bay of islands

Recommended Posts

We are thinking of taking the ferry to Russell after our morning tour in Bay of Islands. I can't seem to find the time tables for the various companies. We would need to leave Paihia at around 1 p.m. and return around 3 p.m. in order to give us enough time to get back to the ship.

 

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide a link to the time tables.

 

Can you buy a return ticket or is each trip purchased separately?

Thanks for posting the link. I saw that one but if I understood it correctly it means we either have to catch the 12:30 or the 1:30 to go over to Russell. We wanted to find out if there were any other ferry companies that had different time schedules. We would like to leave at 1pm to go from Paihia to Russell. I thought I read that there were several different companies.

Try this. http://russellinfo.co.nz/ferry-times-2

 

I think this is the one we used last time we were there.

 

Thanks. I just bookmarked that link. At least it gives us a few different choices time wise. Appreciate you posting it and helping.

 

Do you know if you can purchase your return ticket at the same time you purchase the one to go to Russell?

 

If not can you purchase it when you disembark at Russell so at least you'll know you have that time slot later in the day?

 

Are there shops and restaurants in walking distance near the dock in Russell?
