Amazing experience! The crew were all very knowledgeable about the ocean and marine life around it and were very happy to spot and update us on the birds and marine mammals in the area. We managed to catch some Common Dolphins and Bottlenose Dolphins during our cruise and were issued a complimentary voucher for our next visit (no expiry!) as we didn't manage to see any whales and they have a guarantee for all customers! It was also super cool to hear fun facts about the dolphins from their marine scientists onboard. Overall wonderful experience and I look forward to going back to Auckland and using up that complimentary voucher one day!

I really enjoyed ziplining on Waiheke Island and would definitely do it again when I'm in Auckland. All the staff were very friendly. Lucy and Sophie, two amazing guides, were there to ensure my safety and keep me entertained during the experience, so I felt safe and relaxed. P.S. It was supposed to be a small group tour, but I ended up having a private tour because some people didn't show up.

The tour with Allpress Olive Groves and Mudbrick vineyard was great. Cable bay experience could have been better but the lunch served at the Batch was absolutely delicious with great views. Waiheke is worth a visit!

We had a wonderful time on this cruise. The Hauraki Gulf was breathtaking, and the guided tour provided both comfort and interesting commentary throughout the journey. Even though we did not get to see the whales this time, the experience was still very enjoyable and memorable. The stop at Man O’ War Vineyards was a highlight—relaxing, scenic, and the perfect opportunity to enjoy local wines and food at our own pace. The crew were welcoming and attentive, making the day feel well-organized and pleasant. A great experience overall, and we would happily recommend this tour.

It was easy to retrieve our tickets - just scan the barcode at the ticket office and the staff will run you through what you need to do before hopping on the boat . The cruise itself is very pleasant ride and spacious. For man's O war. Pack a picnic for the day and you can relax on the sand and enjoy the water . The winery itself is phenomenal the staff are friendly and the food is amazing.
