Auckland: Cruzeiro de Baleias, Golfinhos e Ilhas

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.

Amazing trip. Captain James and his crew were knowledgeable about the surrounding islands, structures, bird and dolphin species. We were really lucky to see the dolphins and gannets working alongside one another and an Australian navy ship.

We recently went on a whale and dolphin watching trip, and while we didn’t spot any whales this time, we were lucky to see a large number of dolphins, which was still an amazing experience! Watching them swim and play alongside the boat was definitely a highlight. The tour also included a stop at a Man O War vineyard, which turned out to be a lovely surprise. We enjoyed a delicious meal there in a beautiful setting, making the trip feel even more special. Overall, even without the whales, the experience was very satisfying and well worth it. The combination of wildlife, scenery, and great food made for a memorable day. Would definitely recommend!

Puntualna wycieczka i możliwość zobaczenia delfinów, ale niestety bez wielorybów, wysadzenie na wyspie Waiheke na lunch w winnicy było świetne.

I loved this activity. The original date I booked couldn't go ahead because of bad weather but they were super helpful at the desk and quickly booked me on for the next available date which happened to be the next day. The staff were both friendly and knowledgeable about the boat. We saw common dolphin, australasian ganets and little blue penguins on our trip.

The overall service was very good, and the staff were friendly and hospitable. Unfortunately, we only saw a few dolphins that day and nothing else. We were disappointed, but satisfied with the service.

The service at the venue was good. It's a shame it was a windy day, but we still managed to see some dolphins. The kids were happy for the day.

This time, we were arranged to take a small boat out to sea. The waves were quite big, and although the weather was good, we didn't see any whales or dolphins. The captain was excellent, driving us to very distant locations, but we still didn't spot any, which was a bit disappointing. However, the crew was extremely friendly, and in the end, we paid for our own lunch at the Man O' War winery, where the food quality was exceptional.

The itinerary was satisfactory, but the food and drink options on board lacked variety, and there was no microwave to warm up food slightly.

Wonderful trip, enjoy so much
