We got lucky with a beautiful weather. Sailing was mostly smooth. The owner, Tim was friendly and so was his beautiful dog, Shake.

Good body workout!

The adventure trails were do-able although it does get really challenging at stage5. We made it to 5 and man, sure did it feel like a whole body workout. I appreciate that the crews were encouraging and attentive, always looking out for us and advising us on hows the best way to pass the stage. Mostly kids and think we were the only ovegrown kids on a Monday. Surely you gotta do it when you visit Wellington! Totally worth the money!

What a wonderful experience

My hubby and I are on holiday from South Africa and really want to experience as much of Wellington as we can and booked the Days Bay trip as one of our adventures. Wow..... The crew was brilliant, helpful and friendly. That ferry glided over the water so smoothly even in the wake of a much bigger boats, anchored by both docks swiftly and my elderly husband with severe osteoporosis in the knees where assisted on and off. WELL DONE EAST BY WEST FERRIES. By the way the lady in the office is a just as great.

Seeing the harbour from the front of the Megisti was amazing, even on an overcast day. The crew were fun and so welcoming. This cruise is something I will return to do again and again, and I’ll be bringing everyone with me that I can! Thank you for an incredible experience Megisti!

A special experience for a special Birthday!

I booked this last minute for my boyfriend's Birthday as another plan had fallen through... my boyfriend is a leap year baby so I had to make sure to pull out all the stops! And boy oh boy... this experience did not disappoint. It was spectacular from start to finish. We are a mid-20's couple who are very adventurous (we mountain bike, snow-board, surf-board and run 1/2 marathon's regularly) so we are always looking for a new adventurous experience. This ticked every box. A wonderful and charismatic team, who provide such a high-energy throughout the whole experience. A wonderful and friendly Dalmatian. A beautifully clean and loved vessel. And to top it all off a well equipped bar! It was everything and more we could have wished for. Thank you again guys for providing this experience, we do already recommend it to everybody...but especially once lock-down is over- treat yourself to this wonderful experience! :)

Perfect customer service. My hire was fuss-free and seamless. My bike was ready waiting for me. I just had to hand over photo ID. No forms to fill out. Good to go. :) And the friendly guy on the desk was super helpful. He offered me some sun cream as I'd forgotten mine and made sure I had their number in case I got a flat tyre. Very happy customer :)
