I was a little disappointed with the harbour cruise. I had a very hard time hearing the commentary both inside and outside on the boat. I kept trying to find a place where I could hear her, but gave up and just enjoyed the views. I think the speakers could be turned up or improved on. I also heard from other passengers that the audio was cutting out on our specific tour due to a battery, so maybe that was part of it. Either way, u missed the commentary which is what I was looking forward do. We did get to see someone bungee jump from the bridge - that was cool!
I also do not think this activity is great for young children unless they really like geology or history.

Weather was better than expected. The cruise was awesome, great team on the Fullers 360 Cat. Would definitely do another cruise somewhere else in the future.

We sailed on a lovely day, but it was still cool on the water. Bring a warm jumper!
Informative and enjoyable.

Wonderful opportunity to get an overview of Auckland and all its surroundings. Interesting to hear more about its history too.
Louise_G, Mar 2026
It was a great experience with a bit of history included, and we even got the chance to watch someone bungee jumping from the Harbour Bridge. The top level offers the best 360° views, although it can get quite windy up thereâso hold on to your hat if youâre wearing one! The crew member was also very attentive, checking in to see if we needed anything and asking how the experience was going.

Nimna_F, Mar 2026
Wonderful and an informative ride. Thanks to our guide Nick for the commentary that was an add on.
We first missed the cruise tour due to coming in late . Kudos to Viator and Fullers helping us to amend the booking. Everyone was so helpful.

Lots of uneven steps. Not recommended for people use walkers
Anthony_S, Mar 2026
Wonderful way to see several areas with a great view! Very informative narrative along with the cruise. Some breathtaking photo opportunities of downtown Auckland, volcanoes, navy ships and the beautiful bridge!
Tony_C, Mar 2026
On the back deck when the boat was moving you cannot hear the comentary. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Sue_L, Mar 2026

Great trip round the harbour,a little speedy in some parts but great day for it. Specially liked the views of the sailing âľď¸ ships and small sail boats đś.
Andrew_G, Feb 2026
I spent my entire tour on the upper deck.
The weather was really fine and the experience better for it.
Really thought the pacing, slower at points of high interest, then a bit of vigor on the in between stretches fun and memorable.
The audio commentary was informative, when I could discern what was being said.
The audio system was of poor resolution, and lacked clarityâŚ.muddy medium level volume.
Itâs an experience with a lot of ambient noise, the waves, the wind and. just the thrumm of the engine and hull.
Because other patrons were yelling at each other throughout the commentary without regard for othersâŚsuggest the following.
Include a
âPlease, respect other passengers during the commentary phases of our cruise.
Thanks in advance!â
Good value and fun, clean, well maintained craft and nice crew!
Brenda_L, Feb 2026
Not a lot to see of the city. Very basic viewing of harbour and surrounding area. If possible, better to view from a high point.
Valerie_V, Feb 2026
We had a wonderful day!! Min was early and was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. The tour was one of our best. Lots of time to view the gardens (although you could easily spend an entire day there)! Wellington Mountain was fun to climb and shopping time in Newmarket was appreciated,
Tracy_H, Feb 2026
Interesting tour but unfortunately the PA system was not working properly and we couldnât hear the tour guide.
DAVID_I, Feb 2026
Great cruise with interesting commentary. The trip was quite comprehensive and included the traditional as well as modern aspects of Auckland.
Kenneth_G, Feb 2026
Nice comprehensive experience. Great weather helped. Had a complete and thorough trip around the Auckland harbor.
Angela_O, Jan 2026
Great cruise round the Auckland harbour area, well organised, not overcrowded, good commentary onboard. Lots of photo opportunities and the good weather helped.
John_P, Jan 2026
A pleasant and informative view of the harbour. If you sit out the back of the boat you will not hear the comnentary due to engine and wash noise but it is a great spot for taking photos. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
cynthia_j, Jan 2026
This was a great informative cruise. The narrator was clear and concise, she pointed out historical points and add informative information about each site. This cruise is great for someone who might have mobility issues. The harbor cruise provided outstanding pictures of Aucklandâs City skyline. The crew was very helpful. The only negative thing I had about the cruise, is when it says it will provide water, itâs tap water in cup. Very misleading.
Tim_D, Jan 2026
Missed tge ferry, was given wrong directions by security who sent us off to another quay. When we realised we had been at the correct quay, the ferry had left.... Very wet and annoyed
Donnabella_A, Jan 2026
