New Zealand by Sea

With stunning coastal landscapes, small seaside provinces and an abundance of charismatic marine life, New Zealand is uniquely suited to be explored on a small ship expedition. Cruise for 9 or 13 days aboard the 120-guest Coral Adventurer to experience New Zealand from a very different perspective.

With over 4,350 miles of stunning coastline to be explored, enjoy cruising sheltered sounds, volcanic islands and marine reserves alongside the dramatic beauty of Fiordland. Expert guides and local rangers introduce everyone on board to wildlife including dolphins, seals, kiwis and keas. Visit remote areas including Marlborough Sounds, Fiordland and Stewart Island. Experience the grandeur and remote beauty of Fiordland National Park. Encounter the Maori culture and learn about New Zealand’s history and landscape.

The compact 9-day itinerary focuses on the breathtaking natural wonders of New Zealand’s South Island sounds and fiords, conveniently operating round-trip from Bluff with motorcoach connections to start and end in Queenstown. The full 13-day itinerary operates from Queenstown to Wellington and adds explorations along the entire east coast of New Zealand’s South Island.

Aboard a small expedition ship, avoid well-trodden tourist trails and access remote and pristine wilderness areas. Get up close to wildlife with the expedition team. Wake up to new vistas each day and relax in the comfort of life on board Coral Adventurer, a ship that features a uniquely Australian atmosphere and particular attention to food and wine. Activities are made efficient by each ship’s onboard Zodiacs and Xplorer tenders.

Awe-inspiring landscapes, indigenous Maori culture and an abundance of unique wildlife all combine to make New Zealand a remarkable expedition destination, and these itineraries showcase remote attractions best accessed by small ship.

Days 2 - 8
New Zealand Sounds & Stewart Island Exploration

Throughout the expedition, allowances may be made for seasonal variations, weather, tidal conditions and any other event that may affect the operation of the vessel. Below is a selection of the key destinations visited.

Stewart Island
Known in Maori mythology as Te Punga o Te WakaThe Anchor Stone of Maui’s Canoe’Stewart Island (Rakiura) is New Zealand’s little known third island. Apart from the communities on the island, many people never venture to remote Stewart Island. Enjoy a guided walk by the expedition team at the Ulva Bird Sanctuary which offers a predator-free environment for rare and endangered birds, and visit the remains of the Norwegian Whaling Base. Spend the rest of your day embarking on a nature cruise and later visit the Oban Township.

Fiordland
Fiordland National Park, a World Heritage site once described as the Eighth Wonder of the World by author Rudyard Kipling, is characterized by 14 fiords carving through just 133 miles (215 km) of coastline. These fiords were carved by glaciers over thousands of years, and you will see waterfalls cascading down the sheer cliffs, rainforest cloaking the steep ridges and granite peaks reflected in the deep shimmering waters. These mostly inaccessible and awe-inspiring landscapes were the mysterious source of powerful pounamu (New Zealand Jade), gathered by Maori from the riverbeds and boulders of the South Islandthe only place it occurs. While some European settlers took shelter here, the deep isolation and rugged terrain thwarted all except the toughest from staying. Many of the flora and fauna species have developed in relative isolation, so many of the diverse plants and animals are unique to the area.

Fiordland: Dusky Sound
Today, sail into Dusky Sound which is a remote destination inaccessible by road. Dusky sound is the largest and most complex of the Fiordland Sounds. It is also a designated Bird Area for the Fiordland penguins that breed here. Visit the historic Astronomers Point boardwalk where James Cook set up a temporary observatory in 1773 and encounter the fur seals of Luncheon Cove. You will have a chance to explore the Cascade Cove followed by some water activities such as using the ship’s kayaks for a fun paddle or taking a polar dip in the crystal-clear waters. Depart Dusky Sound cruising through the Acheron and Cooks passages.

Fiordland: Doubtful & Thompson Sound
Doubtful Sound is the deepest and widest fiord, flanked by towering cliffs and adorned by cascading waterfalls. The stillness and silence of this Fiord is compelling and unforgettable. Cruise into Doubtful Sound and past the Nee Islets and through ‘the Gut’ and outer Seal colonies where you may spot fur seals lounging on the rocks and pods of dolphins. If the weather permits, head to nearby Thompson Island and enjoy a walk at Deas Cove.

Fiordland: Milford Sound
Encounter breathtaking views as the ship enters the Milford Sound, heading towards the famous Stirling Falls. You will have a chance to feel the spray from Stirling Falls and get a close-up view in your designated Zodiacs and Xplorer tenders. Witness the world-famous view of Mitre Peak, rising some 5,518 feet (1,682 meters). Its triangular silhouette rises opposite beautiful Stirling Falls, falling from the top of a 531-foot-high (162 m) cliff between two towering ridges into the water’s deep shades of turquoise and emerald.

Solander Island & Sea Day
Spend the day transiting through the Solander Islands, with the Maori name Hautere translating to ‘flying wind,’ where a trio of uninhabited volcanic islets lie just beyond New Zealand’s South Island. Aboard the Endeavour, Captain James Cook spotted the islands in early 1770, and was named after a Swedish scientific crew member on board, Daniel Solander. The islands have only been known to be inhabited briefly due to marooning or shipwreck. With one third of the wildlife on the islands being incredibly rare, it is likely that you will spot fernbirds, snipe and white-fronted terns. The island has been declared an Important Bird Area as it is a breeding site for common diving petrels and Buller’s albatrosses amassing some 5000 pairs.
