Aqualicious Autumn holidays – splashing around in New Zealand

Posted by Simon

Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World, Auckland Whale Watching, Christchurch Triple Challenge, Queenstown

Stop right there! Summer may have been and gone, but that’s no reason to hang up the Speedos and retreat to the safety of terra firma.  In a couple of months winter will rear its icy head, so now’s the time to dip your toe in for one final aqualicious autumn holiday before it’s too late. 

Your heart will be pumping as fast as the rapids when you white water raft through the unforgettable 170 metre Oxenbridge Tunnel on Queenstown’s Triple Challenge half day tour. The tour also includes a hold-onto-your-hairpiece jet boat ride on the Shotover river and a helicopter flight over Skippers Canyon. A well earned steaming hot shower and sauna awaits you back at Cavell’s Rafting Lodge. With your adrenaline burnt for the day, soak up some water views at the Novotel Gardens Hotel near Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown and enjoy the change of pace by a cosy fire.

Land lovers and sea sailors alike will adore the Auckland Great Day Out, with a smorgasbord of sightseeing from summit to sea. Starting at Mt Eden, you’ll see a 62,000 year old volcano underneath the city’s oldest park. Continue on to other Auckland sites before beginning your ocean odyssey at Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World to gawk at sharks, stingrays and moray eels. Jump onboard the Pride of Auckland yacht, and breathe in the fresh ocean air of Waitemata Harbour while munching on homemade muffins. After finishing on a high at the Sky Tower, stay at The Quadrant Auckland Hotel and splash about in a spa, or perhaps order an in-room custom food pack.

Have a whale of a time and dally with dolphins on a Kaikoura Whale Watch Tour. Starting out from Christchurch, you’ll ride the Tranz Coastal train to the world renowned marine site of Kaikoura. Here, you’ll board a boat to go sperm whale spotting and gaze at the majestic Royal Albatross. Lunch is provided before visiting a seal colony and returning to Christchurch to sample some other liquid pleasures – a North Canterbury vineyard wine tasting. Let the sea breeze tickle your seafood tastebuds at the Beachlife Apartments, 100 metres from the Pacific Ocean and an ideal base for fishing, crab catching and surfing.

“Arrr me hearties”, you’ll be but a blur to any passing boats in the Bay of Islands dangling ‘On the Edge’, New Zealand’s fastest sailing catamaran. On the full day tour you can join the crew sailing, or just sit back and soak up the scenery. Drop anchor at one of the eye-catching islands and feast upon a traditional kiwi BBQ, then head ashore for a bounty of snorkeling, swimming and nature walks. With your lungs full of life, breathe easy at the peaceful bush setting of the waterfront Hotel Paihia.
