Fantastic 5.0
amazing trip. Captain James and his crews were knowledgeable about surrounding islands, structures, birds and dolphins species. we were really lucky to see the dolphins and gannets working alongside one another and an Australian navy ship.

Great 4.0
Great afternoon experience. Staff were fantastic and the captain was very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting info he shared along the journey. It was just a shame there was a large group on our tour where one member decided we all needed to listen to his music on his large speaker. Made it hard to hear the Captain's info on the boats speakers. I took a sea sick tablet just in case.

was a feast and the buffest was an sxtravaganza. arguably the widest food selection in all small 1-2H klook cruises i’ve been (vs busan, thailand, ha long vietnam, shanghai, chengdu, etc)

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! ⛵️

Fantastic 5.0
The Rangitoto ferry from downtown Auckland is quick (about 25 minutes) but packed with great views. The crew was helpful, pointing out landmarks like the harbour bridge and Devonport along the way. The boat is clean and stable, with plenty of outdoor deck space for photos. Once you arrive, the island’s rugged lava fields and the summit track await – the ferry times are well spaced, giving you a solid 4–5 hours to explore. My only minor suggestion: arrive early, as the return queue can get long on sunny weekends. Also, bring water and sunscreen; there’s no shop on the island. Overall, a smooth, reliable service that gets you to one of Auckland’s best day trips.
