Due to popular demand, we’re delighted to announce a second departure of this incredible luxury escape in February!
All details remain the same—just another opportunity to experience this unforgettable adventure.
Join Bay Tours for a two-day journey that blends high-altitude elegance with rugged backcountry charm. You’ll enjoy panoramic views, off-grid adventure, and world-class cuisine, all set against the breathtaking landscapes of the Central Plateau and Whanganui hinterland.
Our experience begins with a lakeside morning tea at Wharewaka Point, before ascending Mt Ruapehu aboard the Sky Waka Gondola to 2,020m for a high tea with altitude. Indulge in a selection of sweet and savoury delights—perhaps paired with a glass of prosecco or gin—as you take in sweeping alpine views.
We then journey to the remote and stunning Blue Duck Station, where adventure awaits. After check-in, embark on a two-hour guided ATV bush safari exploring deep forest, river gorges, and native conservation sites—an unforgettable way to experience the wild heart of this remarkable property.
As the sun sets, prepare for an evening at the acclaimed Chef’s Table—a truly unique dining experience featuring ingredients grown, foraged, or farmed onsite. Over 3–4 indulgent hours, you’ll savour a multi-course tasting menu paired with breathtaking views over untouched wilderness.
Wake to a gourmet breakfast at the hilltop restaurant, surrounded by panoramic views, before beginning the journey home. We’ll pause for coffee in National Park and enjoy a relaxed lakeside lunch at the Lake House Eatery in Tokaanu to conclude this exceptional escape.
