Cruising
Cruising is an excellent way to explore New Zealand's rugged and dramatic coastline, dotted with tiny islands and idyllic bays. With around 15,000 kilometers of coastline and more than 25 marine reserves, it’s a veritable paradise!
Experience the ultimate eco-adventure in Northland’s Bay of Islands: whilst cruising through some of the spectacular 144 islands which make up the Bay of Islands, stop to swim with the local common and bottlenose dolphins which inhabit these waters.
Cruise to remote villages on Great Barrier Island, visiting Kawau Island, New Zealand's playground for the rich and famous, and the stunning beaches and coves of The Coromandel Peninsula. Taste some of the locally produced wines grown on Waiheke Island, and stroll through the quaint villages and welcoming cafes.
A maze of deep coves and secluded bays fringed by native forest, the Marlborough Sounds provide an unspoilt wilderness to enjoy an array of maritime pursuits. Sail to the outer Sounds for close encounters with sea birds, seals and endangered species such as the Hector's, Dusky and Bottlenose dolphins.
Whether you’re looking for pristine scenic beauty, interacting with endangered wildlife, learning about Maori culture, or indulging in the gourmet delights of New Zealand, cruising in New Zealand offers something for everyone.
