Seabird, whales and island endemics cruise from Christchurch (South Island, New Zealand) 25 March via Norfolk Island (AUS) – New Caledonia (F) – Rennell, Makira, Guadalcanal & Kolombangara (Solomon Islands) – Bouganville & New Ireland (Papua New Guinea) arriving in Kavieng (New Ireland, PNG) 12 April. This is a shorter WPO than originally stated; NZ–Japan, 30 days. But there will be a 4 day extension with birding on New Ireland 13–16 April, staying at a lodge by the beach; Rubio Plantation. And before WPO starts there will be 5 days private birding on the South Island, New Zealand.
