Day 1. Sat 17 Apr: Homeport - Auckland DinnerFlight Details - to be advised.Welcome to New Zealand! We are met on arrival at the Auckland International Airport before being transferred to our hotel enjoying highlights and commentary along the way. Auckland, is the gateway to New Zealand and is a modern city set on a narrow isthmus between the restless Tasman Sea and the calmer waters of the Pacific Ocean. The Waitemata Harbour, one of the city’s greatest treasures, is a mecca for sailors, and the popularity of sailing on the harbour has led to the affectionate term, ‘City of Sails’. The volcanic cones of One Tree Hill and Mt Eden are characteristic of the legacy of over 60 craters and cones concentrated in an area which is geologically unique. After check-in, you will have some time to rest before early evening where we gather in Jimmy Cook’s Kiwi Kitchen and Bar for dinner. Overnight Auckland: Copthorne Hotel Auckland City 4*
