Yacht charter New Zealand
Last updated on 7 April 2025
Sometimes nicknamed "the land of the long white cloud", New Zealand is mainly made up of two large, opposite islands and several small islands such as Stewart Island or those of the Chatham archipelago. This country in Oceania, geographically isolated and located about 2000 kilometers from the Australian coast, shines with its contrasting tourist attractions.
From the side of the boat of your New Zealand yacht charter, you will have the privilege of discovering a particularly rich marine ecosystem, preserved forest reserves and the fascinating world of the Maori, the indigenous people whose haka chant was made famous by New Zealand rugby players.
In total, the land of the Kiwis has 13 national parks and 3 marine reserves, including the Bay of Islands, located at the northern tip of Northland, which is still a very popular area for pleasure boaters. Among the places not to be missed are the Coromandel Peninsula with its superb beaches, and the Poor Knights Islands for the wonderful aquatic hikes they offer.
Activities to enjoy in New Zealand
There are many summer activities awaiting cruise passengers stopping over in New Zealand. From long swims to endless hikes and water sports, you will hardly have time to get bored.
On the beaches, in addition to scuba diving, there are many water sports to try with family or friends. Intrepid youngsters can try surfing in the open sea off the famous Manu Bay or Hahei Beach, which adorn the Coromandel Peninsula. Those who wish to enjoy the pleasures of sea kayaking are invited to drop anchor off the splendid beaches of the Abel Tasman National Park. You will leisurely follow its golden shores and then veer off on a pleasant hike through the bush.
As you can see, hiking is a must in New Zealand. You can also experience this unique moment of being alone in the middle of lush greenery in the heart of this magnificent country in Oceania. There is no shortage of sailing itineraries! A trip along the side of the boat in the Abel Tasman National Park will be rewarded by the view of the fjords and sculpted granite cliffs. Long sailing itineraries will also allow you to discover mythical places such as Tongariro or the lush forests of the west coast.
Have fun in Auckland
History buffs and those looking for a relaxing vacation will also find what they are looking for in New Zealand. Once you have dropped anchor in the Auckland marina, you can stroll through a city that has some lovely surprises in store for you. Budding historians are invited to lose themselves in its museums, such as the Auckland Maritime Museum or the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Located in the vicinity of the municipality, the zoo, botanical garden and nature reserves, such as Devonport, guarantee you a little moment of relaxation in a peaceful environment.
