select to open Dusky Sound pictures - Opens a dialog

Dusky Sound was named by Captain James Cook on his first voyage to New Zealand in 1770. He did not enter the sound because it was getting dark and named it Dusky Bay. The Maori name for the sound is Tamatea after the legendary explorer who traveled the full length of the North and South Islands in his waka/canoe, the Takitimu.On Cook’s second voyage in 1773, when he spent several weeks exploring the fiord, he met several Ma¯ori family groups. They were Nga¯ti Mamoe iwi who lived in Dusky Sound and other remote fields as fugitives of northern tribal battles and formed the basis for romantic and exaggerated legends of a “lost tribe”.

Overview

 
select to open Dunedin pictures - Opens a dialog

Dunedin is a great place to live for people of all ages and lifestyles. Situated on the southeastern coast of New Zealand’s South Island, capital of the Otago Region, a city by the sea, surrounded by beautiful lofty hills, gracious distinguished buildings and white sandy beaches is Dunedin – a city to intrigue and enchant.
It has everything from the ultimate geography for outdoor recreation to a vibrant nightlife with top-class entertainment/theatre/music/restaurants/arts. Dunedin combines magnificent, historical architecture, modern industry, and business with dramatic scenery and wildlife reserves. It is a University City with a strong Scottish heritage.
Its striking bush-covered hills and valleys at the head of a long natural harbor attracted Maori settlers as long as four centuries ago. In 1848 Scottish settlers established a town there, bestowing upon it the ancient name of Edinburgh. Not long after the settlers’ arrival, gold was discovered in Otago and the then-small town of Dunedin became the commercial capital of New Zealand and the center for the nation's wealth.
Today, Dunedin is foremost a University City with some 10% of its (approximately) 115,000 population attending tertiary institutions.

Day 6 Port of Call Christchurch Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Christchurch pictures - Opens a dialog

Located on the east coast of the South Island, Christchurch - just like the rest of New Zealand - is a city of contrasts. It is a place where its residents continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle amidst a natural environment world-renowned for its beauty. A growing cosmopolitan ambiance also adds a touch of excitement without overt flashiness. Everywhere there is an understated elegance that speaks of times gone by and promises a future where anything is possible. It is the ‘city that shines’. Internationally famed ‘The Garden City’, Christchurch’s well-established expansive parks and public gardens owe much to the planning and foresight of the city’s founding fathers. The centrally-located 161-hectare Hagley Park, the Botanic Gardens, the four leafy inner-city avenues, Victoria Square, and spectacular gardens such as Mona Vale on the banks of the River Avon bear testimony to this legacy. It is a vision that is embraced and perpetuated today by proud residents right throughout the city. The Garden City Festival of Flowers held in February each year is certainly one of the most popular festivals on the annual calendar...a time when the city is a blaze of color. In 1996, Christchurch was acknowledged as the outstanding garden city from 620 international entries and in 1997, was judged Overall Winner of Major Cities in the Nations in Bloom International Competition to become ‘Garden City of the World’! Maori oral history suggests that people first inhabited the Canterbury area about a thousand years ago. These first inhabitants were moa-hunting tribes and these were followed by the Waitaha who are thought to have migrated from the east coast of the North Island in the 16th century. This migration was joined by the Ngati Mamoe and Ngai Tahu and continued until about 1830. The first European landed in Canterbury in 1815, 45 years after Captain James Cook sighted what he named "Banks Island", later found to be a peninsula. In 1840 the first Europeans settled on the plains and whaling ships were operating out of Lyttelton by 1850. During 1850-1851 the first organized groups of English settlers, the founders of Christchurch, arrived on the 'first four ships' into Lyttelton Harbour. Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter on July 31, 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand. In 1893 New Zealand women achieved a first in the world when they won the right to vote. This significant event was honored in 1993 when the Kate Sheppard Memorial, a commemoration of Women's Suffrage was unveiled on 19th September 1993. Canterbury's economy was built on primary products and Canterbury has long been recognised as living "off the sheep's back". Although its economic beginnings were in refrigerated sheep and dairy meats and other dairy products, Canterbury now has a diversified regional economy with growth across a range of "new economy" sectors. There is something different to see and do within a one or two-hour drive of Christchurch, in any direction. To the east lie the open ocean and Banks Peninsula, featuring sheltered bays, sandy beaches, bush-clad valleys, rocky coastline, and high, wild places. Boating, tramping, a visit to the wineries, and the French settlers’ harbourside village of Akaroa are key peninsula attractions. To the west, past fertile plains and braided rivers, are forested foothills and lakes. Beyond them lie the tallest mountains in Australasia, the Southern Alps, strung out parallel to the coastline. Mountain passes with delightful alpine villages break the almost impenetrable divide and deliver the traveler to the West Coast There is a choice of western routes and plenty of ski areas on the way. A journey north reveals green rolling hills, forests, and long, empty beaches, with the whale-watching center of Kaikoura about 2 hours drive away, whilst an excursion to the south passes through farmland and crosses two more of Canterbury’s pristine rivers, ideal for fishing in, whitewater rafting or kayaking down. Mt Hutt, the premier commercial ski area close to the city, lies to the southwest. A day off-piste here allows jet boating, fishing, horse riding, or a round of golf.
