This is the perfect cruise to get out and see the natural beauty of the Queen Charlotte Sounds. Take in views of legendary explorer James Cook's favorite New Zealand hideaway, navigating through deep bays and coves surrounded by the towering mountains and trees that inspired the Māori to call this area Totaranui for its fantastic canoe timber. Crossing the main reach of the Queen Charlotte Sounds will have you arriving at Double Cove, a sheltered haven of holiday homes, and wildlife such as cormorants and the famous pet fish. Also, you might even have a unique opportunity to feed the pet fish from the vessel, potentially receiving visits from hungry herring, mullet, big blue cod, and various bird species joining in on the fun.
