ITINERARY
DAY 1
You will be met and transferred to the Heritage Auckland Hotel, your home for 2 nights.
Auckland’s most unique international-class hotel has been lovingly transformed from the city’s most significant and historic former department store—a landmark building and New Zealand icon.
The Heritage Auckland is perfectly positioned overlooking sparkling Waitemata Harbour and the excitement of the America’s Cup Village. Situated in the heart of Auckland’s business district, The Heritage Auckland is within walking distance of the city’s many attractions, including the Sky Tower, Casino, the shops of Queen Street and Auckland city’s finest cafes and restaurants.
The Heritage Auckland includes two distinctive accommodation wings. The Hotel reflects delightful ornate touches carefully preserved from the building’s past while the Tower offers a more contemporary design.
DAY 2 What better way to experience the culture of Auckland, then through this hands on experience of racing America’s Cup yachts? The America’s Cup is the world’s oldest and most prestigious sporting trophy and ultimate yachting regatta. Usually the domain of billionaires and elite professional yachties, today you will have the unique opportunity to participate sailing on these grand prix racing machines.
Passengers become the crew and are encouraged to take the helm, exert energy on the grinders or simply sit back and enjoy the action as you sail down the Auckland Harbour. The trip suits people of all experiences and abilities and is the perfect activity in Auckland, City of Sails.
