Why take the Russell Mini Tour instead of exploring on foot?

Although central Russell is easy to explore independently, several important viewpoints, beaches and historic locations are spread beyond the waterfront. The comfortable coach reaches places such as Oneroa and Flagstaff Hill without requiring lengthy walks or steep climbs, while a knowledgeable local guide shares stories and details that are easily missed. It is an excellent introduction for visitors who enjoy personal, informative Bay of Islands small-group tours.
