We think postman (or postwoman...or is it post-people?) should be added to the list of most adventurous careers. For starters, they get to pound the pavement and get exercise while working, they brave the elements rain or shine, and they get chased by people's dogs. It's a major adrenaline rush. But we bet you didn't know that here in New Zealand, the rare postie might even get to deliver packages by boat up remote, little-known inlets. Now that's cool!
Experience a real adventure. Grab an adult fare for just $44 or a child fare for just $23 for the Mail Run Cruise with Beachcomber Fun Cruises, Picton and join the skipper as he delivers mail and groceries to folks in the remote and beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound. Your two options are:
- $44 for an adult (15 years and old) fare (value $89)
- $23 for a child (5-14 years old) fare (value $46)
