The best day of our holiday!
30th Jan - 6 Feb is Tucker week - a fund raising week for the ship and youth development voyages. Check out the calendar of events!
That's what people say after taking a sail on board the R.Tucker Thompson, and not without good reason! It's one of the few opportunities to go sailing on a working tall ship, in one of the most spectacularly beautiful parts of New Zealand, the Bay of Islands. Better still, with profits made from tourism going to support youth development, your day out is going to a good cause.
