Discover Historic Northland
15th - 19th October 2010
What better way to discover New Zealand's heritage and culture than from the decks of a tall ship. Not only is it fascinating, but sailing on a tall ship is in itself a unique experience. Whether you hail from New Zealand or overseas, this trip will be an experience you will totally enjoy.
These Historic Northland Voyages provide you with the rare opportunity of exploring our coastal waters, so rich in history, from the kind of sailing ship that was so familiar here in the 19th century. Like the early mariners, you will view and experience our shores from the sea. You will learn about significant encounters that took place, especially those between local tribes and early European visitors. Some events led to bloodshed and tragedy through misunderstandings between cultures; others led to working relationships and lasting friendships between the different races
In partnership with the NZ Historic Places Trust, a unique voyage on the tall ship R.Tucker Thompson has been charted for you to rediscover those encounters between people, land and sea.

Here's what people have said about these trips:
“This is not a 5 star resort holiday. It's for real people to enjoy, sailing, history and scenery.”
“The voyage as an experience was perfect. To separate it into parts defies the nature of it as it was to me. It was 5 days of being in breathtaking scenery, superb storytelling, complete hospitality and within a group of like-minded extremely stimulating people."
If you want an adventure that is fun, challenging and an experience much more than just New Zealand's culture and heritage, these expeditions are not to be missed. Email to check place availablility.
