Bolivia – Simón Bolívar
This 18th century revolutionary – a proper hero – freed half of South America from the Spanish monarchy’s rule. Simón Bolívar was one of the most important leaders of South America’s successful struggle for independence against Spain. Following the triumph over the Spanish Monarchy, Bolívar participated in the foundation of Gran Colombia, a nation formed from the liberated Spanish colonies. He was President of Gran Colombia from 1821 to 1830. Bolívar is credited with contributing decisively to the independence of the present-day countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia and is often revered as a hero.

Cruises need not always be just about relaxing and soaking up the sun (though these do seem to be the real purpose). A cruise can also be a unique opportunity to visit places of great natural beauty; places where you won’t normally go to. And if you’re going on a cruise in the picturesque Marlborough sounds, there are still more reasons to enjoy the sights. Marlborough Sounds Hosted Cruises offers a range of cruises especially for this purpose. The two major family cruises on offer right now are –
The Summer Time Lunch Cruise
This is a special cruise of a short duration of just four hours. The cruise starts at 10 in the morning and goes on till 2 in the afternoon. You have the option of choosing between a Barbeque and a picnic lunch. Marlborough Sounds Hosted Cruises also offers complimentary wine or beer during this cruise. So if you want to relax and soak in the sun but have a time crunch, The Summer Time Lunch Cruise is the perfect cruise for you. As they say; the best things come in small packets.
Sundowner Cruise
This too is a special short duration cruise and is especially arranged to be a treat for your eyes. It is a four hour cruise that takes you around the picturesque Kenepuru And Pelorus Sounds. These sounds are some of the most beautiful sounds in the area and are the favoured spots for many tourists. With the Sundowner Cruise offered by Marlborough Sounds Hosted Cruises you can relax and soak up the sun while feasting your eyes at the amazing beauty of these sounds. Make sure that you make your bookings by 3.30 pm. The cruise departs from Havelock Marina at 4pm from Jetty 1 Berth 1.
With these two cruises you’ll get beautiful memories of your vacation which you would cherish all your life (and also some great photographs of course).
