Travel Adventures in New Zealand: Northland: Half and One Day Tours

Tucker Thompson Sailing Ship
If you want to go sailing in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, if you are thinking of an ocean passage or simply want to learn more about the R. Tucker Thompson and tall ships generally, this is for you. Step back in time and explore the Bay of Islands as they did in Captain Cook's day and join for a day sailing adventure on board the Bay of Island's icon, the R.Tucker Thompson. A interactive experience where you can help sail the ship, set the sails, take the helm or simply relax and enjoy this beautiful part of New Zealand. Often voted the best day of any holiday, those who step on board are transported back in time to the days of sail.
