Due to popular demand, we’re delighted to announce a fourth departure of this incredible luxury escape in May!
Join Bay Tours for a journey that blends relaxed lakeside charm with rugged backcountry adventure. You’ll enjoy scenic landscapes, off-grid exploration, and world-class cuisine, all set against the breathtaking backdrops of the Central Plateau and Whanganui hinterland.
Our experience begins with a lakeside morning tea at Wharewaka Point, before enjoying a leisurely lunch at The Station Cafe – a local favourite and the perfect way to ease into the journey.
We then travel onward 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 lunch at Mavericks Gastro Pub to conclude this exceptional escape.
