Beachcomber Cruises

Your adventure will begin as you cruise north from Picton on a boat through the drowned river valleys of the Queen Charlotte Sound and past idyllic bays. As you head towards Ship Cove the skipper will talk about the history, geology, flora and fauna of the area and – if there is time- you'll get closer to any passing wildlife, including dolphins who like to play in the wake of the boat.

In the 1770s, sheltered Ship Cove provided safe anchorage, food, water and timber for explorer Captain James Cook and his ship crews on five separate occasions and saw some of the earliest sustained contact between Maori and Europeans.

There is plenty of historical information at Ship Cove before you climb away from the beach through native forest regenerating beneath a high canopy of trees. The forest includes manuka, kanuka, five finger and tree ferns and is home to many native New Zealand bird species: tui, fantails, silvereyes and tomtits. If you stop for a break, a curious weka may come to check you out.

When you reach Tawa Saddle, stunning views of the Queen Charlotte Sound spread out before you. The track then drops into Resolution Bay and follows an old bridle path into Endeavour Inlet.

Furneaux Lodge at the head of the Endeavor Inlet is your destination. Here you can buy drinks and meals and relax before boarding your cruise vessel at approximately 4-4.30pm for your return to Picton. Arriving back at approximately 5.30-6pm.

Build resilience with contrast therapy. Unleash the power of hot and cold with contrast therapy. This invigorating technique alternates between soothing warmth and cool refreshment, promoting circulation, reducing muscle soreness, and accelerating recovery. Experience it in a luxurious private room and emerge feeling revitalized and ready to conquer anything.

Contrast therapy is a powerful tool for your well-being. By alternating between hot and cold treatments, you can experience a range of benefits that help your body recover faster and feel its best.

  • Reduced Muscle Soreness: The hot and cold cycle flushes out lactic acid and promotes circulation, leading to decreased post-workout soreness and stiffness
  • Faster Injury Recovery: Contrast therapy helps tame inflammation and swelling around injuries, speeding up the healing process and getting you back to your activities sooner
  • Improved Circulation: The alternating temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict and dilate, promoting better blood flow throughout the body. This delivers vital nutrients to muscles and tissues, aiding in overall recovery
  • Enhanced Range of Motion: Reduced stiffness and inflammation from contrast therapy can lead to increased flexibility and improved range of motion in your joints
  • These benefits combine to make contrast therapy a valuable tool for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to optimize their recovery and feel their best

Waimarie

A cruise aboard the iconic Paddle Steamer Waimarie is undoubtedly one of the most authentic ways to experience Whanganui River’s scenery and history.

Salvaged from the bottom of the Whanganui River where she sat for around 50 years, the Paddle Steamer Waimarie was restored to her former glory and re-launched in 2000 to make her New Zealand’s only authentic coal-fired paddle steamer in operation. Today, we can but dream of the hustle and bustle of the trading settlers and iwi who knew the Paddle Steamer Waimarie of old. Instead, we can enjoy her resurrection with a leisurely river cruise more fitting to her stately grace.

Experience the charm of river travel as it was in days gone by with this two-hour cruise. Embark on a journey from the Riverboat Centre Wharf, where you'll be swept up the river, immersing yourself in the scenery and unique views of Whanganui that can only be appreciated from Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River.

As you cruise along Te Awa Tupua - Whanganui River, you'll see heritage homes, hear commentary with riverboat history and fascinating points of interest along the way and see Whanganui from its heart.  Don't miss the chance to see the boiler that powers the paddle steamer and perhaps meet the homing pigeons, even sending a message with them on their flight back to the Riverboat Centre.

Inclusions

  • 2 hour cruise on the Paddle Steamer Waimarie
  • On board commentary
  • Wonderful views
  • Meet the homing pigeons and perhaps send a message back with them on their flight to the Riverboat Centre

We share stories of courage and determination, tragedy and triumph, boundless hope and unfathomable loss; kauri making a nation.

Dig Deeper Here.

The kauri tree, Agathis australis, is New Zealand’s largest and most famous native tree. Located midway between Auckland and the Bay of Islands, the Kauri Museum tells some of the stories of this amazing tree.

Celebrating everything to do with kauri and the people of northern New Zealand/Aotearoa, the Museum has stories of the Māori of the north eastern Kaipara, of European pioneers, of foresters and sawmillers, gum diggers and farmers, and of business people, fishers and the families who have made this area their home.

This experience also includes lunch at the Gumdiggers Café, conveniently located opposite the Museum. You are welcome to leave the Museum, have your lunch, and return for a further look!

Museum highlights include:

  • The Museum includes a full sized sawmill, which moves at slow speed so visitors can get up close to see how the mill works.

The Sterling Wing is typical of how kauri timber was used for building homes and for making beautiful furniture, and features many valuable Northland heritage pieces.
  • Our life-size recreation of a two storey boarding house sits inside the museum. As well as providing accomodation, boarding houses provided an important focal point for local commerce, enabling visiting professionals such as dentists and bankers to set up shop and service the local community.The mannequins and lifelike models featured throughout the museum are based on real people.
