Sailing, stories and stunning scenery
A magical combination of story telling and traditional tall ship sailing, served up with hearty traditional fare and convivial company! It's a unique experience where you will delve deep into the truth of New Zealand's history in a setting so special, you'll feel you have been transported back to the times of early explorers.
For those with less time available, we have also created a shortened voyage based in the Bay of Islands only.
In partnership with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, an onboard Historian will explain and show you key locations and events that shaped this nation's early beginnings. Your experience includes:
- Voyage to Cavalli Islands, Matuari Bay and Whangaroa Harbour
- Guest historian from New Zealand Historic Places Trust
- Accommodation on board (in bunk style communal facilities)
- Three cooked meals daily, plus morning & afternoon tea
- Guided walks to Marsden Cross, Rainbow Warrior Memorial & other locations
- Historical handout to take home and access to library
With only 10 places available and only two voyages per year, these special voyages are highly sought after. This voyage is a must for New Zealanders and visitors alike wishing to gain a better understanding of key events that has made this nation what it is today.

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."
