Relaxing, friendly, and great value! - One of the 3 young nephews is nervous on boats, and this was the smallest one he has been on so far. The female skipper and crew member were both great, so welcoming, informative on the commentary, and good at politely explaining the safety rules to the boys who were very keen to poke their heads past the safety ropes! The tide was a bit low when we loaded and they helped everyone onboard individually, this included 2 ladies in wheelchairs celebrating 80 year plus birthdays. The tide was much lower when we arrived back at the historical wharf and the service to get everyone off was impressive. We were allowed to walk through the bar and tiny wheelhouse to access the small bow area for an even more up-close look at the visiting cruise ship. Overall it was a very relaxing 1 hour cruise that we all enjoyed. It was good value for me as 1 child travels for free with each paying adult, and additional under 12 children are just $5 each.

A great addition to your walk over or around Mt Maunganui - We were gifted a Chuffed Voucher and chose this cruise as our preferred option. We really enjoyed this cruise which was professional and very relaxing and informative. We highly recommend this cruise as an add-on to your visit to Tauranga and your walk around the Mount.

Nice Afternoon Harbour Cruise - Booked this 1hr harbour tour and was not disappointed. The crew, both of which were young Ladies, welcomed everyone aboard the boat with a smile. The skipper ran the commentary and was extremely knowledgeable of the local history and the workings of the current day harbour life. Well done and would recommend to other travellers.
