An awe-inspiring journey that open our hearts to the wonders of the outdoors and visit our island Trust friends to show them our support. We will visit the wonders of the New Zealand Maritime Museum, explore and discover what work the Department of Conservation (DOC) is doing with the Motuihe Island Trust, visit a stunning winery for a taste test and explore a wonderful regeneration project at Rotoroa Island and discover the island’s rich history.

Part of the purpose of this experience is to give our support by visiting these wonderful places due to the remote locations being less visited by the public. To sail on either of these two icons ex racing yachts is a true privilege.
