Description:

Discover the amazing stories of New Zealand's maritime history in the galleries of the Voyager Maritime Museum. Then take a sailing cruise to explore Auckland's bustling Waitemata Harbor aboard the heritage vessel Ted Ashby.

See what drove the Polynesian people to sail thousands of miles in the hope of finding land, and marvel at how they traveled the world’s largest ocean using the simplest of navigation techniques.

Learn the stories of New Zealand’s first European settlers, whalers and sealers who fought tough conditions and enormous mammals to ply the fertile southern oceans. Experience the incredible conditions European immigrants suffered through as they made their way to a new life of opportunity in New Zealand.

See Blue Water Black Magic - A Tribute to Sir Peter Blake, the exhibition that charts New Zealand’s success as a yachting nation and pays tribute to the country's greatest sailor. Explore Kiwi ingenuity with an early example of the Hamilton jet boat and learn about how intrepid Kiwi adventurers rowed and paddled their way across the world’s greatest oceans.

Finally, sail Auckland's Waitemata Harbor—in the same way merchants did more than 100 years ago—aboard Ted Ashby, the museum’s heritage sailing vessel. Calm your senses, feel the wind in your hair, and admire the panoramic views of the city skyline while sailing on the sparkling harbor.
