1/2 Day Auckland Harbour Cruise

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.
