Welcome to the GINZ monthly newsletter!

Outdoor sports and activities retain their popularity especially those with tour operators specialising in Whale and Dolphin packages - and the good thing is, once you’re in New Zealand, you don’t have to travel very far to enjoy this experience.

Between January and March, food and wine festivals feature in most provinces of New Zealand and provide a great way for people to sample the local food and character of 'Kiwis' in a casual setting. Check out these websites for more details: Pinot Nior 2010, Hawkes Bay Wines and Marlborough Food and Wine Festival.


All the very best from the team at GINZ.com

Swim with Dolphins

Two very different areas of New Zealand providing great Dolphin tours are in the Bay of Islands in the North Island and Akaroa, in the Canterbury region, a charming French-inspired fishing town in the South Island.

Black Cat Cruises creates some of the most memorable experiences to be had on the water anywhere on New Zealand’s Canterbury coastline. If you’ve always wanted to swim with dolphins, get an insider’s view of marine wildlife or charter an unforgettable trip with friends, you are in the right place. Black Cat has been cruising the waters of Banks Peninsula for more than 25 years, and they know all there is to know about the harbours of Lyttelton and Akaroa – their volcanic origins and their marine inhabitants. One of their dolphin cruises will get you up close and personal to the playful and curious Hector Dolphins. Everything is provided including wetsuits and an enduring precious memory.
