Tour Itinerary
Cruise the sparkling waters of Auckland’s beautiful Waitemata Harbour and learn about the city's best-loved landmarks with full commentary from the knowledgeable crew. The cruise includes a free return trip to Devonport and a brief stopover at volcanic Rangitoto Island. Imagine the thrill in standing on a dormant, giant volcano which last erupted 600 years ago. Rangitoto Island is a must do when in Auckland and a pleasant ferry journey on the 'City of Sails' harbour.
This tour gives a fish-eye view of the Harbour Bridge; the city skyline; Devonport’s historic naval base; Bean Rock Lighthouse; and panoramic views of Rangitoto Island. The crew will serve you with afternoon tea (a hot drink and a muffin).
Your free return ticket to Devonport can be used whenever you like - it doesn't have to be the same day. Hop across the harbour to Auckland’s ‘marine suburb’ and spend some time exploring delightful shops, cafes and galleries.

This was a lovely cruise around the harbour. The commentry was very informative and pointed out the various places of interest. The morning tea available was a really nice touch. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to everyone.

It was very well commentated and interesting. I especially enjoyed the trip to the volcanic island. Using the voucher in exchange for a ticket worked very well, but I would have preferred to know ahead of time that the voucher was not a ticket and was subject to availabilty. (Ed. Your voucher is a ticket and not suject to availability - sometime the staff onboard need a little training! Glad you enjoyed it!)
