Description:

Visit the Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum and explore the stories and journeys of courageous explorers and pioneers who sailed to the limits of their imagination, from Kupe and Tasman to Cook and Sir Peter Blake.

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 in the making 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.
