Sailing on NCL, Spirit, on January 16-28. We originally were scheduled to go to Lyttelton but port was changed to Timaru. Now port is changed back to Lyttlelton. Does anyone know if there are shuttles that take people to Christchurch. It looks like there are buses (public transportation) but not sure how close they are to port or if you can purchase a ticket at this location. Has anyone gone recently that can give me info? Thanks in advance

Yes, that’s what we would like to do.

Our cruise ship, NCL, has changed ports from Lyttleton to Timaru. Has anyone been to Timaru to give us ideas of what to do? We would love to rent a car. Has anyone done this? Thanks

Thanks! We are staying in Aukland 2 extra days after the cruise and have already booked the excursion for Hobbiton and Rotorua from Aukland.

Has anyone used Get Your Guide services when they visited Burnie?

What are must sees and dos in Tauranga?

There are 8 adults in our party ranging in ages from 54-78. We don't mind doing separate excursions. We are looking for recommendations on seeing wildlife. In Sydney do you recommend the Taronga Zoo, Wildlife Sydney Zoo, or Sea Life Aquarium? On NCL we have booked the following excursions. Not sure if we will take them all. Please let me know if you have been on any of these and if so please provide feedback. Eden ~ Cruise to Twofold Bay Burnie ~ Devils & Roos (Wings Park Farm) Melbourne ~ Healsville Sanctuary (we have decided only to do one of these either this one or Burnie or if we should just do the one in Sydney and scrap both of these) Lyttleton Discovery Cruise

Thank you for the map and information.

Thanks for the information

Hi, We are stopping at the following ports and are wondering what are the best excursions/places to see & visit. Eden, Burnie, Melbourne, Sydney in Australia Dunedin, Lyttleton, Wellington, Napier, Tauranga, Aukland. We are on NCL but looking at other excursions from other vendors. Thanks

They updated it on 10/6. Tasmania is no longer on the list, they don’t have any countries listed.

I received an email from my inquiry regarding Tasmania. They confirmed that Tasmania no longer has any restrictions regarding vaccination. I was told the website would be changed today and I just checked again and there is an update and restrictions are gone. 😊

I’m surprised NCL hasn’t switched to another port as well. I do have an email submitted to the Tasmania department of Health because I can’t find anything not permitting people who are unvaccinated to sail/visit there.

Does anyone know why Tasmania is on the list for NCL?
