The Harbour Sailing Cruise was the highlight of my Auckland trip. The crew were extremely accommodating and friendly the whole time. I was a solo traveler and the rest of the group were couples, but they made sure I never felt left out. They were very game to chat and shared lots of interesting trivia about Auckland and the harbour. The free coffee and cookies on board were surprisingly good and made the experience even nicer while enjoying the views. They also offered to take photos, which I really appreciated as someone traveling alone. I was also thankful that they accommodated my request over the phone to move from the afternoon sailing to the morning trip. The booth of the local provider was also very easy to spot, so everything was smooth from the start. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Auckland! ⛵️

Stayed 3 days and 2 nights at Ibis Budget Auckland and overall it was a very good stay and definitely value for money. The location is excellent—very central and close to many attractions, restaurants, and shops, which made it very convenient for exploring the city. The receptionist who assisted me when I arrived late at night on my first day was very helpful and welcoming, which I really appreciated after a long trip. The room itself was clean and had everything I needed for a short stay. There was just a slight musty smell in the room, but it was manageable. I also appreciated that the hotel was able to safekeep my baggage after checkout, since my tour ended much later in the day. That made things very convenient. Overall, considering the price and the great location, it was still a very good experience and a practical choice for staying in Auckland. 👍

The tour guide was very patient. My English isn't great, but she listened to me patiently. I couldn't find the pick-up point, so she came to my hotel to find me. The service team was also very responsive when I emailed them. The wines were all delicious, especially the wine from Westbrook Winery, which is the best I've ever had. The beach was also beautiful, and I took some great photos there.

this experience is amazing! the weather was so fine. we take the morning tour which finishes around 13:00 when you can still enjoy happy hour in the restaurants near the harbour. we spotted a few dolphins only. no whale was spotted. a complimentary voucher was given to join the tour again.
