Summary

Meet your captain and crew at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour to board your yacht and set sail around Waitemata Harbour. On the cruise, soak up the scenery as you enjoy morning or afternoon tea on-board (coffee, tea or hot chocolate, accompanied by cake or pastry). Glide along the coast against a backdrop of Auckland’s majestic skyline and the glittering ocean. Pass landmarks including the Auckland Bridge, admire the boats in Westhaven Marina, and discover Auckland’s waterfront neighborhoods as you cruise through Devonport, with plenty of photo opportunities along the way. During your cruise, take the opportunity to learn some sailing skills from the crew and perhaps take the helm and have a go at steering the ship. Your tour ends back at Viaduct Harbour.
