Russell, on a sheltered peninsula in the Bay of Islands, was New Zealand's first permanent European settlement and briefly its capital, notorious in its rowdy whaling days as the hell hole of the Pacific. Its original Maori name is Kororareka, and formally restoring that name has been the subject of recent public consultation. Today the waterfront village is a quiet, historic base for sailing, fishing and exploring the bay, reached by a short car ferry from Paihia and Opua.
