admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:37:46 +0000

Take this great opportunity to experience two of New Zealands most spectacular marine parks in a fantastic 6 night cruise.

The Marlborough Sounds: lying at the South Island’s north-easternmost point, between Tasman Bay in the west and Cloudy Bay in the south-east. The steep, wooded hills and small quiet bays of the sounds are sparsely populated, as access is difficult. Many of the small settlements and isolated houses are only accessible by boat. This is one of the most beautiful and tranquil places in New Zealand, endowed with natural beauty, this intricate maze of waterways with its attractive beaches and lush greenery provides for the perfect nature experience

Abel Tasman National Park: Small but exquisitely formed, is a paradise of golden beaches, granite and marble rock formations, lush native forest and remarkable wildlife encounters. Close to the shore, the water is a tropical shade of turquoise and so clear that you can watch the anchor dig into the sand. Apart from the walking track that traces the park’s boundary with the sea, there’s not a road to be seen.

Island Escapes’ magnificent flagship, Island Passage, is a boutique cruise ship with ten luxurious cabins – each with its own ensuite, a top chef and the onboard equipment to cater for every adventure or experience these National Parks have to offer
