R Tucker Thompson Tall Ship Sailing Adventure

Explore the beautiful Bay of Islands aboard the iconic "R. Tucker Thompson" tall ship. Take the opportunity to set the sails, ride the bowsprit and climb the rigging or simply relax while the crew command this impressive ship as it sails across the Bay.

Catch the breeze and set sail for the day from either Paihia or Russell aboard the unique tall ship "R. Tucker Thompson", built in the tradition of 100 year old schooners by local Northlanders. She has sailed the world but today will explore the somewhat calmer seas of the Bay of Islands with you on board.

Help set the sails, take the helm or just lie back on deck and relax. Hear tales of the ship's exploits from the crew. Enjoy the Devonshire tea freshly baked and brewed in the galley each morning. At lunchtime the vessel anchors in a secluded bay. Step ashore, take a swim or try swinging from the yardarm.
