Pauline, thank you so much for am incredible afternoon of fun. We absolutely loved our tour with you, and cannot wait to come back. You taught us so much, both about Devonport and about riding Segways. It was so lovely to meet you. Tarsha and Kristian 🌸
Fantastic- thanks Pauline. We had great time. The tour was excellent. If you want to see a little bit of Devonport- this is the way to do it. Lots of fun and a wee history lesson as well.
Thank for a great time in deven Port first time on a zegway was, alot of fun the instructions was easy to follow our tour guide knew alot about the area and gave us some recommendations to do later that was helpful we got some lovely views area Devon Port and some free time on the zegway highly recommend
Best experience!
Had an amazing time. The crew and the service was top class. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!
The team were very friendly and helpful. It was a nice day out and we saw lots of dolphins but no whales. The crew decided it wasn’t enough ans that we deserved a return voucher so we can come back again anytime. It was a bumpy ride so make sure you bring some weatherproof clothing.
What a great afternoon we spent with skipper Alex and crew Elliot, Jordan and Holly. We helped raise and lower the sails and we all got a chance to rake the helm, whilst racing around the bay. Alex told as lots about the boat and sailing tips too. This was an experience I will never forget!
The America's Cup Sailing Experience is highly recommended. Very cruisy to get to taste a bit of the race and enjoy the harbour. The crew is super experienced and friendly. The boat is super safe and calm! Thank you!
It’s a very impressive fishing trip, highly recommended!
Informative friendly team and both journeys on time.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you so much!
Really great 2 hours on America's cup Yacht. Good safety briefing followed by gentle exit from the harbour. Got people involved on the grinders to get the sails up then we were off. Breeze picked up as we got out of the harbour and had Gennicker up down wind. Lots of us allowed to have a go on the wheel. Crew all competent sailors who let you be as involved as you wanted to be. Great beat on the way back in. Another one off the bucket list. Just need to get some foiling up to date boats for a bang up to date experience of a lifetime.
Fantastic crew, great experience and awesome food... thoroughly enjoyed the outing and would do it again in a heart beat! Thank you for a great first experience.
The whole experience was so amazing, so nice to have dinner while riding on a sailing boat. And another best way to enjoy sunset in the City of Sails Auckland. Thanks to the amazing team headed by Captain Conan and his crew Justin and Daanz. I will highly recommend this.
Thank you very much for contributing to our engagement.
Bought this experience as a birthday present and it was perfect. Beautiful views, even on an overcast day. Pilot Cameron was great. I highly recommend it!
It was a lot of fun because it was the first time I went fishing with my son on a boat. I highly recommend doing this type of fishing.
I took my 18mth old for the first time and he had the best time! We will definitely be visiting more often
My family visited us from India and they just loved kelly tarltons. From cute penguins to giant shark and sting rays, everything was adorable.
Excelente experiencia , recomendado para ir con niños pequeños 😃
It’s good for a small country like New Zealand. If you’ve been to Singapore, USA etc and other countries with aquariums it’s going to look very small. There were people there not wearing masks and coughing close to my baby during red level when Omicron is in the community so it’s not recommended during this time as it’s in a small enclosed space. My baby enjoyed it.
It was nice to visit again. Some areas may need an upgrade but overall a great day with the kiddies
We had a wow of a time with the interaction with all the displays. My family was treated famously by the friendly staff who were so informative. Nice family time for all ages
Fascinating King penguins.
Although a bit quite place then usual restaurants. But the food was great and very big portions. We ordered Sea food Laksa and Mee goreng with chicken for Mains and Chicken karage for starters. Everything was yummy.
I had the most amazing experience, I recommend this place to everyone. Food was 10 out of 10, as well as the service. All meals were delicious and beautifully served.
Th Restaurant was beautiful with nice atmosphere. We ordered several dishes from the entrée, main and desserts. They were all very tasty and good portions. My favourites were the chicken supreme and eton mess. The service staff very very friendly.
My daughter 8 years old and I had such a great day trip to Rangitoto Island. We took a bus from home to the Ferry Pier 13, it was such a good weather, we packed healthy snacks, lunch and water. We walked up to the summit and visit a lava cave. We took a ferry at 2.30pm and bus home! Will definitely return.
Easy going and very entertaining for kids
Haven’t been for 14 years but can safely say nothing has changed. Fun and interesting as always and great for the family. If you haven’t been in a number of years don’t expect any change. Place does need a bit of an upgrade.
Excellent
Great experience. Haven’t been here since I was in primary school. It’s upgraded. Don’t rush thru. Take in what’s on display & all the different sea life.
It was amazing experience me and my son we loved it my son had so much fun highly recommend
Happy staff & thank you Jenna for showing us the star fish and letting my daughter touch one. The turtles are so cute ❤️
Exhibits were logical and some great artwork and information boards Diversity of exhibits has improved. Lots of things to support for struggling species. Penguin group looked great with 2 babies in exhibit. Lots to read, look at and interact with. Staff when on the floor seem disinterested and not friendly but keeping the facility clean with their rubbish sweepers.
Enjoyed watching my 6yo daughter’s face light up with excitement seeing everything for her first time! The booked times made the whole experience more pleasant i.e not so packed, could easily move around, seating available to have a rest, enjoy the exhibits & not feel rushed. Having a voucher made it all more wonderful. Overall it was an awesome adventure had by all!
Negatives : the travelator tanks were very dark and gloomy. No coloured fish, coral or coloured ornaments/props, just Grey fish and dark tanks. The penguins really need a larger enclosure. We stood by a window which had a few next to it and they looked very sad - reminded me of the happy feet movie. We also noticed a beautiful turtle non stop hitting the edge of the tank, maybe hoping there would be an exit. :-( The octopus REALLY needs a friend. He's so tiny and alone :-( Positives: The staff were Very FRIENDLY, especially as we took our severely Autistic nephew with us. They were understanding when he would be loud or brushed past people. The divers in the travelator tanks - thank you for taking the time to stop cleaning and wave to the kids! It was a highlight for my 5yr old. Great to see all the animals healthy and well looked after. All in all, it's a great cost effective place to spend a day with family, especially learning about our sea life. All Though i personally do not agree with animals in captivity, you can clearly see these animals are well looked after and cared for. Hopefully the next upgrade will be a big loop around tank, so the penguins and turtles can swim/play more freely, rather than being met by walls.
