Description
Join us on an experience of a lifetime – an adventure on one of New Zealand’s remotest and wildest environments – the Chatham Islands. 856km east of Christchurch, the Chatham Islands are a world away from the hustle and bustle — no supermarkets, retail stores, skyscrapers, traffic jams, or fast-food chains. Instead, you’ll discover a warm, welcoming community rooted in fishing and farming. Chatham Islanders proudly call themselves “Weka’s,” not “Kiwis”
This all inclusive 7-night Chatham Island trip covers your airfares from Auckland return, island airport transfers and all on-island transport, 7 nights’ accommodation in your own room, 3 meals per day, all entrance fees and daily guided trips. Only exclusions – alcohol and gifts/souvenirs.
There will be seafood galore, fresh local produce, paua gathering, kina tasting experience and a farm woolshed morning tea. We also have a seafood degustation farewell dinner at Kopi bush retreat. https://www.kopiretreat.co.nz/ Check out the Grand Designs episode on the building of this retreat https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/grand-designs-nz/episodes/s7-e1
Activities include: guided walking tours, exploring shipwrecks, rare Moriori ancient rock and tree art and unique coastal flora and fauna, a half day fishing trip and lots more. These islands abound in fascinating history from pre 1500.
This is a not to be missed adventure!
