What a fabulous trip from start to finish thank you
Fast ,quick n sufficient.beautiul scenes all from the comfort of your car . First time experience and loved every minute of it. My four legged fluffy baby loved the fact that he could walk around the bottom outside deck and I loved it just as more.
We had a breathtaking Sunday staff soo friendly great customer service, we were too much but they went all out providing the best experience for us, it was our second time Can’t share much photos cause we took videos beautiful atmosphere
Cafe tucked away off the main strip in Wynyard Quarter. Visited at about 7.30am on a Tuesday morning after a public holiday and there were already plenty of patrons which tells me this is a popular place to visit in the area. The salmon bagel with a side of smashed avo was perfect, along with a cappuccino and smoothie of the day. Friendly staff and beautiful ambience. Must visit.
Great food, great service and beautiful ambience Would recommend this restaurant
What a great way to see the area from a totally different angle. The crew were very good and we were really well looked after. What an all round great Evening spent on the water. Massive thanks to all of the team.
Great experience on the sail. Nice staff team provided jackets for winds. Enjoyed a lot.
This cruise should definitely be included on your list of things to do in NZ. Staff on and off board were super friendly, attentive, hospitable and hilarious. The cruise was for the full 2.5 hours around the harbour. The sights were simply amazing from a sailing vantage point especially when the sun went down the city lights were spectacular. Food from Coop was delicious. All in all an epic adventure at a highly reasonable price.
The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. The food was great - small bites for starters followed by substantial portions for the main entree. We had a great night for sailing and even had a little fun when the wind picked up. I always felt safe but I enjoyed the bit of excitement on the sea. I felt like I was really sailing and not part of some super tame tour. Dress warmly as it’s chilly when the sun goes down and it’s always breezy on the water. The staff passed out blankets just to make sure everyone was super comfortable. Highly recommended!
Had a great experience. Relaxing, beautiful views, wonderful friendly staff and the food was surprisingly good.
Love ❤ this experience. First time sailing. Definitely need a crew to operate the ship. Strongly recommend 👌
Beautiful experience!!! Would definitely do again
Really enjoyed our harbour cruise last night. Great time out on the boat with dinner and drinks. The food was ok but if you are going for the food you are probably missing the point of the experience. Would definitely recommend. Stunning views and friendly staff
Its a great fun and crew very very helpful. Lovedddddd this trip❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Would highly recommend sailing with explore! We got to be hands on out on the water and it was all round a very cool experience. Excited to return with more family !
Amazing setting, food and staff! Very professional, beautiful, safe, comfortable, fun and totally enjoyable. Well worth doing. I was blessed with a gorgeous day/sunset so that did ehance it, nevertheless the team were superb and very friendly. I would do this again in a heartbeat!
Crew were very friendly and organized. A shame the weather wasn't the best.
The crews are very professional and welcoming. Service is excellent. Amazing view of the harbour in the sunset. Food was average though and not very kids friendly, might worth bring own food for little kids. Overall, a very unique exprience. Highly recommended
Great experience and staff amazing. Meal onboard was great and easy to manage onboard a boat. Pity it rained but that’s out of everyone’s control and didn’t take anything away from the experience. Highly recommend.
One of the best 2 hours I have had out on the sea. The staff were so good at getting us to do most of the sailing, hoisting sails, grinding and even skippering the yacht. It's a must to try this out in Auckland. I will do it again.
I really loved it, the team were friendly, I would recommend to all people who want to relax and have fun.
What a great way to end the day; watching the Weds night yacht races with a glass of wine and canapés . The crew were so friendly and relaxed and it was so nice to see our beautiful city from the water as the sun went down .
Took this cruise for my birthday with my sisters. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, food is delicious and just the right serving. The views are picturesque. Thank you
Beautiful morning cruise with super awesome crew
This is one of the best experiences ever! What a way to spend time on the Waitemata! The crew are fantastic, youeven get to have a go at a few things and ask lots of questions about the upcoming America’s Cup in Auckland. Smooth, exciting sailing, on a real AC boat :)
The most fun we have had in long time.. staff were amazing
Very enjoyable , hands on experience , would recommend
Although we went on a cold evening, and hit with a drizzle of rain. We had the best time. Julia and James were amazing. The food was great and there were blankets and jackets to keep those warm and dry if they wanted. In inside was cosy, clean and very stunning. Definitely recommend!
The sailing experience was wonderful. We were all involved in “grinding” and were happy to get the sails raised to accelerate our speed. Wonderful views of the harbour and the crew were very informative and friendly!
Will do it again and again.. love to take part in directing the ship.
Good fun, great crew, they got everyone involved. The lack of wind might be an obstacle for more experienced sailors, but it was all very interesting for a novice like me. I would have given 5 stars if the wind had come up more for a more exhilarating ride.
Super crée, fab food! Well organised and professional. Would highly recommend!!
We loved this cruise. The crew were amazing and the food also was so yum. Would definitely do again when in auckland and recommend to all.
The crew was amazing. Everyone was given a chance to steer and grind if they wanted to.
We had a wonderful evening on our Dinner Harbour Sailing Cruise. We headed out through the Viaduct and into the bay on a a perfect summer's evening. The views from the boat of Auckland and its surrounds were awesome, everywhere we looked was beautiful. Sailing under the Harbour Bridge to the sounds of the breeze and water lapping against the boat was incredibly relaxing and the dinner with wine finished off the experience just right. We sailed back under the bridge with the most fabulous red sky sunset blazoned across the sky ending up sailing back into port with the evening lights of Auckland welcoming us back. Such a memorable experience!
Fantastic sailing boat experience with friendly informative captain, chance to take the wheel and move to front of boat under sails. Drink and cookie served whilst in port so bit of wasted time. Once out on the water was a great feeling of catching the wind etc. Only gripe would be that we were back in dock well short of 90 mins having spent over 15 minutes getting onto boat, safety briefing and drinks fished out.
I had the best time ever! The absolute best crew looked after us, Noel, Steve and Arnika. I was a single person just taking myself out on a date and it was the most amazing experience! Im tempted to quit my job and come work for them! I have been spreading the word around about it.
