I wanted to go for the birds. I saw so many birds it was fantastic. The guided walk was amazing(a little longer than told) there is a lot of steps on the boardwalks. All in all I’m so glad I went.

We had a wonderful time on our sailboat. The skipper and his crews of one other person did a fantastic job of caring for us. It was so much fun being able to steer the ship. Our weather was a bit overcast, but perhaps better than a strong hot sun.

Warning! If you are coming on a cruise ship be very careful. I booked this at 2pm because Royal Carribean told me the ship departed at 5:30 so I deduced that I had plenty of of time for this activity only to be told on the boat that the last shuttle bus was at 4pm. Explor had zero sympathy and I lost my money. Not happy

Wonderful experience on the water. Our crew was well experienced and shared their knowledge and put those who wanted to help crew the boat. Impressive on how responsive this boat was. It was a beautiful relaxing sail.

Enjoyed a day on the sailing vessel with an experienced crew. The tourists got to many the cranks to raise the sails. Then we flew over the water. Everyone was smiling with happiness until we had to return to the harbor.

Fun experience on a real Americs Cup sailing boat, fun crew, beautiful surroundings, and harbor. Day had light wind, so the captain gave free passes for another trip to make up for it.

This was an extremely fun day out on the water: great way to see Auckland harbour. Trip was about 2 hours. Participants can just sit back and enjoy the ride or can help hoist the sails/drive the boat. Crew was very friendly. And great customer service: the day we went out had no wind (not the company's fault) and the company gave out vouchers for the group to try again a different day! Would highly recommend. But note: i don't think this activity is accessible to people with mobility devices (would need to check with the company).

Nice and relaxed cruise along the harbor and coast. Friendly skipper. We enjoyed. Only one thing was missing: the promised Complimentary tea, coffee or hot chocolate and cookie

Had a great sail on NZL-68. The skipper was skilled and knowledgeable. The 3 crew members were friendly and skilled. Of course, this was weather dependent, and we had a perfect day. Enough wind to get the boat moving reasonably fast and mostly sunny skies to make for a perfect day. Everyone got a chance to steer the boat and to work the grinders. It all made for a real sailing experience.

Crew were great and it was a delight being on a sailboat built for such speed. While the wind was not completely cooperative, it was good enough for us to get a first had experience of sailing an America’s Cup boat. I learned a lot about the design differences with most sailboats and my husband loved taking the helm. We are both avid sailors and this was the most fun thing we did in Auckland.

It was excellent. Great crew and wonderful experience. The harbor views were beautiful. My wife and I really enjoyed it. (We are in our 70's).

A fabulous, full day (9:30am to 5:30pm out on the water. Couple of hours at Man ‘o War island (where lunch is surprisingly good at the winery!) Had a full day at our disposal before flying out late at night, so a highly recommended way to pass the time!

What an absolute privilege to be able to visit the beautiful island of Rotorua. Our ferry from Auckland was comfortable and right on schedule. Plenty of time to enjoy the island and its beaches. Take a picnic (remember to take all your rubbish off the island with you! ) and plenty of water. There is a small shop on island but it’s only open for a short amount of time and has some souvenirs and a small selection of juice/ice lollies. Would definitely recommend this trip!

You can buy round trip ferry ticket for $60 NZD and then bus to a vineyard easily ...how is this offering anything more?? If I'm wrong correct me but this is just an overpriced ferry that doesn't even offer food or drinks.

The weather was perfect. Our crew was knowledgeable and friendly and was great about making the experience interactive. It was a genuinely special experience.
