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.

This time they arranged for us to go out to sea on a small boat, and the waves were quite big. Although the weather was good, we didn't see any whales or dolphins. The captain was already very good and drove very far, but still didn't find any, which was a little disappointing. However, the crew was very friendly, and in the end, we paid our own way to Man O' War vineyard for lunch, and the food quality was very good.

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 loved visiting SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium! Just a 10-minute drive from the city centre, it’s very convenient. The Penguin Habitat, Shark Tunnel, and Turtle Bay were the highlights. Great place for families with kids — fully indoors, so no sun or rain to worry about. The Mission Pack is worth collecting!

very friendly staff, views were beautiful even though it was overcast when we went, if you’ve been to other towers around the world it’s definitely a must do to compare how high you can go!
