Stay in luxury at Te Arai Links, surrounded by pristine coastline and native beauty, while immersing yourself in Maori culture and encountering native wildlife for an unforgettable adventure.
DAY 1
Disembark the ship in Auckland and meet your guide. See important luggage note below. Begin your tour with a drive along the northern motorway across the harbour bridge to the North Shore airfield for an Auckland city scenic flight.
A region as vast and majestic as Auckland can only truly be appreciated from the air and the flight path you will take allows you to see some of the most popular locations of Auckland from a bird’s eye view. As we fly low, you’ll be able to see into the crater of Rangitoto and learn about the history of the Auckland region while soaking in the views of Motutapu Island and Aucklands Skyline, colossal Sky Tower and view of the Harbour Bridge.
After your flight continue north to the Puhoi Honey centre, started in 1992 by a local beekeeper, the centre isn’t just about buying honey, it’s an experience, it houses the largest display of live bees and a great range of honeys for tasting including the famous New Zealand Manuka honey.

This will be followed by a captivating Maori Cultural Kapa Haka concert and a guided village tour. To complete your experience, enjoy a delicious traditional Maori lunch – Hangi.
After lunch, step into the shoes of a winemaker and create your own wine blend. Blending is at the heart of many great wines, the timing and trails for blending can vary and can be used for a multitude of purposes to complete a wine.

The skipper will guide you in shucking your oysters, and we’ll even cook some on the BBQ before heading back to Scott’s Landing. If oysters aren’t your thing, you can still enjoy a morning on the water with wine and nibbles instead.

Daytime temperatures reach between 20°C and 30°C (68-86 °F) and Queenstown’s 45° south latitude means that dawn is as early as 5am, while dusk settles around 10pm.
What to Bring:
Dress is informal and relaxed. In summer, bring a jacket and sweater in case the weather turns cooler, or you visit higher altitudes. You can expect some rain, so also include a light rainproof jacket or coat. If visiting between May and September, pack warm winter garments and layer your clothing.
Local Currency:
New Zealand's unit of currency is the New Zealand dollar (NZ$ ). All major credit cards can be used in New Zealand. Travelers Cheques are accepted at hotels, banks and some stores. Automated Teller Machines (ATM) are widely available at banks, along main shopping streets and in malls. International credit cards and ATM cards will work as long as they have a four-digit PIN encoded.

Electricity is supplied throughout New Zealand at 230/240 volts, 50 hertz. Most hotels and motels provide 110 volts ac sockets (rated at 20 watts) for electric razors only. Please note that power outlets only accept angled two or three pin Type I plugs (as also used in Australia) depending on whether an earth connection is fitted. We recommend bringing your own travel adaptor for electric devices.
