Best experience ever!
I had the most amazing time with my parents. Josh (our guide) was professional and very considerate too. He always patiently waited for me to translate for my parents before giving more instructions. We even saw a shooting star that night. Highly recommend!

Beautiful evening experience
The team were all very friendly and knowledgeable. After a brief safety briefing we went out and were explained what to look out for. We felt like we had time to explore. We managed to see some decent bioluminescence so were happy with this. I would recommend not trying to take photos as they don't come out too well, just enjoy the experience. Would recommend

What an amazing night
The team that took us all out into the waterways were great. The bioluminescence was outstanding, dripping off the paddles and sparking in the splashes. A fantastic way to spend an evening in Auckland. Well done for providing this tour.
