RealNZ has announced plans for “future growth”, acting chief executive Paul Norris said on Wednesday, including changes to its portfolio of business to “better align to the organisation’s purpose” and its focus on inspiring an interest in conservation.
As well as selling the International Antarctic Centre, RealNZ is also offloading its Queenstown Jet Boats tourism business, Queenstown Ferry (water taxis), and the Stewart Island Lodge.
The company also owns the historic Walter Peak homestead on the shore of Lake Whakatipu, and is exploring new ways to “expand” guests’ experiences there. It hopes to sell its vessel Spirit of Queenstown to fellow tourism operator Southern Discoveries, with the boat continuing to provide trips to Walter Peak.

Water regulator Taumata Arowai delivered a major blow to the council in May when it made a draft decision to decline the council’s application for a chlorine exemption.
The council originally had 10 days to respond, but after requesting two time extensions, submitted its response last week, in which emphasised it had a strong record of supplying safe drinking water to the community, bearing in mind the large and complex supply it managed.
It believed it should be enough to provide evidence that it was in progress of meeting Taumata Arowai's requirements.
A Taumata Arowai spokesperson said the entity needed to carefully and fully consider the new information provided by the council.
