New Zealand's first capital and one of its most visited destinations. Get your Russell business in front of the visitors stepping off the ferry — before your competitors do.
Russell is unlike almost any other town in New Zealand. As the country's first permanent European settlement and first capital, it carries enormous historical significance — and as one of the Bay of Islands' most beautiful destinations, it draws a steady stream of visitors year-round. Most of them are on their phones before the ferry docks.
The Russell business community is small but competitive. Boutique accommodation, premium dining, fishing charters, kayaking, and historic attractions all compete for the same visitors. Businesses that rank at the top of Google Maps capture the lion's share of bookings — often before visitors have even decided where to go.
