Fantastic experience! Very lucky to see whales, dolphins, seals, gulls and even small penguins. My whole family was so excited searching and catching glimpse of the whales but from a distance. Overall experience is great and would highly recommend but weather has to be good.

A lovely way to see Auckland! The harbour views were beautiful, especially cruising under the Harbour Bridge and seeing the city skyline from the water. The crew were friendly and the commentary added plenty of interesting local information. A relaxed, enjoyable trip—would recommend it to visitors and locals alike.

The stunning view of Queenstown from the Skyline Godonla was unbeatable. My 15-year-old son loved the luge so much that he tried 9 rides with a week. We truly had lots of fun there.

This is a nice place to visit, you can spend 1 to 2 hours here. We did not try to view the feeding and talking times as we visited on a weekend and there were a lot of children so we tried to avoid the crowd. Just show your voucher in the Klook app at the ticket counter to enter.

We had such a great time on The Red Boats sunset cruise. The views of Auckland Harbour and the city skyline as the sun went down were beautiful. The crew were friendly and welcoming, and the commentary was interesting without being over the top. Having a drink from the onboard bar while cruising under the Harbour Bridge was a highlight. A really relaxing and enjoyable evening definitely recommend if you’re visiting Auckland!

I really enjoyed the trip. I saw the kiwi birds, and they were very cute. Unfortunately, you can’t take photos of them because camera flashes and bright lights can damage their sensitive eyes. But the kiwi birds were very cute! Besides that, my favourite part of the trip was going to Blue Spring. It was so beautiful and looked unreal. In addition, our tour guide was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting things about New Zealand and Auckland.

K was our guide, he was very informative and most of felt safe up there with him. The views are amazing and it's an experience to try at least once. Do to safety reasons you can't bring your own camera up there, so it is nice that they take pictures for you for free. Also received a t-shirt from the experience. we also received passes to go up to the observation deck that wasn't mentioned on klook.

This cruise is actually quite worth it as they allowed you to come back another day if you did not manage to see many dolphins. They have snacks and drinks available for purchase during credit card on board. Crew members tried their very best to spot dolphins and orca(rare) for you. You can even choose different island to land on 2nd visit.
