Cruise along the coastline of countless tree-lined inlets, exploring the Marlborough Sounds and secluded bays before stepping ashore to sample the famed green-lipped mussels, lobsters and scallops and the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. Known as the adventure capital of the world, Queensland offers countless head-rush experiences and is the southern hemisphere’s premier ski destination, whilst the gastronomic capital Wellington is abundant in chic bars, restaurants and cafés.
North Island is the quieter and more tranquil of the two islands, rich in yachting history and slick cities, its landscapes comprise of pristine lakes and gleaming white beaches. Raft through gorges and down waterfalls, take a helicopter to a remote section of the Kaituna River, sledge or river-board through breath-taking landscapes and twist and turn through its reaches by jet boat. From the lush forests and black mountains of the Cormandel peninsula to the glorious palm-fringed Ninety Mile Beach, even the most restless traveller will feel invigorated on a luxury yacht charter in the cruising grounds of this uplifting island.
