Relaxed and friendly environment, fabulous food, and gorgeous views. The crew could not have been friendlier - and were generous with both knowledge and humour, while very safety conscious. Many thanks from visitors from Adelaide!

Casual Sailing
Lovely, low-key sailing experience around Auckland harbor. We had a very relaxing time and perfect sailing weather.

For anyone new, or simply other travellers like us, to Auckland should definitely give this wee tour a go.
Fantastic, warm and friendly crew with quirky little facts about the city and surrounds, and really open to questions. Loved the opportunity to help steer the boat and wander around deck.
The view as the sun set and light changed was incredible.
Perfect way to see Auckland without treading the boards, with a gentle rock.
The food was ace, far exceeded expectations.
Highly recommended.

Americas Cup sail in Aukland FUN
We went out on the 1pm sail. It was really fun. We both loved grinding and being part of the crew. The sailors on board were very friendly. Would 10/10 do again.

Amazing sail
The sail was amazing, cold (winter month), but still amazing. Absolutely beautiful sunset and amazing food. The city is gorgeous all lit up at night. The captain was knowledgeable about the city and answered all our questions. Definitely a must do when visiting Auckland.

Perfect Day for Sailing
We were searching for a sunset dinner cruise, but most reviews suggested opting for a sailing cruise and dining at a restaurant. Since the food on dinner cruises is not particularly impressive, we decided to take this sailing tour. It turned out to be a delightful and memorable experience during our vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed watching all the sailboats in the bay. The crew was fantastic, providing us with refreshing drinks and delicious cookies. Afterward, we headed to a fantastic restaurant located right at the harbor for a satisfying meal.

Sail away
Nice trip around the bay. Food was good. Commentary could be improved. Tour was late May so need coats and hats etc
Not sure it was good value for the cost.

Oops
Safety was paramount with the guys so anyone can do it. The wind came up on the way back so we had some exciting flying moments, however, a few hard tacks wrecked havoc with a jib rope, mainsail pulley and rudder rod. A true America's Cup sail experience but we had to motor more than half way back.
We were compensated but I could not take them up on their offer since I was leaving Auckland that evening.

When to visit

Waitemata Harbour offers an excursion for every kind of traveler, so find a trip that best suits your desired level of activity.
If you don’t want to go out onto the water, harbor views can be enjoyed from a high spot, such as Sky Tower’s viewing platform or One Tree Hill.
You can easily get burned with New Zealand’s notoriously strong sun, especially from the glare on the water. If you’re heading out on a boat, wear plenty of sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to prevent sunburn.
