Arcturus - your starting point for Eco tours and cultural tours of New Zealand
Explore the natural wonder that is the Hauraki Gulf, the yachtsman's playground just a short sail from Auckland's Viaduct Harbour.

We can take you to the inner islands of the Gulf, for example Motuhie, Waiheke or Tiritiri Matangi to mention a few. Or we can offer longer trips to Great Barrier Island, the Coromandel Peninsula, or the beautiful Bay of Islands.

Some of the islands of the Gulf are nature reserves, where the Department of Conservation is providing a safe haven for endangered fauna to regenerate, to allow repopulation of the New Zealand mainland.
