Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum

　　The Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum is a place full of stories, a place brimming with courage and ambition, a place of exploration and discovery, and a place that takes you on an awe-inspiring journey, constantly inspiring people to embrace the courage to explore. Located at Hobson Wharf in Auckland, it is New Zealand’s first maritime museum.

　　The museum aims to provide enjoyable and thrilling experiences of past and present sea adventures, while also preserving New Zealand’s maritime heritage. Voyagers have collected numerous maritime-related natural history items during their journeys, reflecting New Zealand’s seafaring history from its earliest Polynesian inhabitants to the present day. The collection primarily focuses on Polynesian and Māori voyaging vessels, European maritime exploration, settlement and immigration, early coastal trade, whaling, modern maritime transport, maritime trade, as well as maritime art and handicrafts. Key items include ships, nautical equipment, ship models, books, maps, and artworks—all of which bring New Zealand’s maritime history to life.

　　The Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, with the last admission at 4:00 PM. It is open year-round except for Christmas Day, and the entire visit can be completed in about two hours.
