My partner and I booked this cruise and weren’t disappointed, we had the best day and enjoyed the trip and seeing all the dolphins and wildlife. The crew went the whole extra mile to make us feel welcome. Thanks again for having us

We enjoyed our visit at the mount very busy spot but cannot be happier with the deal we got 😊😊 love the private spa and the other amenities that were included. Will definitely purchasing this one again. We did have to mention to the desk ladies as she had to double check but hey ho all good we got in. Also they do ask for Id for the key to be issued to you whilst in the spa which again wasn't to much of a biggy Private spa also came with a radio in the rooms which was a nice add to relaxing time Bit of a tight parking situation but hey we had a house bus and still manage to get in nicely 💜

A real gem, and reasonable price. Came here late in the afternoon. It is such a beautiful spot as the sun goes down and the evening sets in. The premises are very well kept, clean and tidy. Pools have different temps, and the little ones have their own toddler area. There are lots of life guards on duty ensuring everyone is kept safe. The changing area is clean and tidy, which makes getting dressed pleasant. The staff are all very helpful and friendly.

Kids had a great time , nice and warm just right for them

What a great way to relax after climbing the mountain, thanks Mount Hot Pools!

Great for all ages. Warm and hot pools. The view of Mount Maunganui and the tall buildings are lovely.

A lovely way to spend the afternoon! Out to Matakana Island, and a stop-off for a swim and play on the beach. Kewpie picked us up on the next round so we could complete the harbour cruise and get a different perspective on Pilot Bay. Thank you Kewpie Cruises :)

This was great really loved it relaxing fun and even get a pit stop to have lunch great day out thank you

Wonderful hosts, informative pleasure cruise and a bar on board too. This was our second trip and we absolutely recommend it

Perfect end to our Easter holiday?? (2017)

We took the grandkids on the kewpie on Saturday.. What an amazing day we had. Thank you so much. We will be booking again soon.

We did the 11.00 cruise, got off at Matakana Island and were picked up by the 12.00 cruise. Kewpie was very punctual and we had a great time. I would recommend this to anyone . We are a pair of grandparents and had two grandkids 7 and 10 with us so they went free.

Very friendly staff. Good commentary over the PA, and the stopover on Matakana Island is a must

Excellent short cruise right at the base of the Mt Maunganui. There were not a lot of people with us, but they are missing the experience for sure! Very informative. Highly recommended

My family and I really enjoyed the Kewpie cruise! Great Views of the Mount and Harbour!

The crew of Kewpie couldn't be nicer. They are genuine good people and nothing was too much trouble. From helping us haul our buggy on board, to knowledgeably pointing out places of interest in the harbour. We got off at Matakana Island for an hour which was tranquil and relaxing (if I was doing it again I would take some insect repellent). We were a young family with a 3 and 6 month old. A great trip to do for all the family.

Friendly skipper and crew. Really enjoyed the island hop on/off option.

Lovely morning outing. Very informative. Well stocked on drinks if needed. My kids an I loved it.

Took my sister who is visiting from Australia on this Very relaxing cruise. Great hosts. Very affordable due to kids being free which was the best bonus for me due to having 4 little ones. They enjoyed every minute. Thank you and look forward to the next trip

Thanks to Amy & the crew for giving us a lovely guided tour around the harbour, the hour trip went so fast & we wanted to stay and do it again. Very knowledgeable & informative commentary throughout the trip & they have a good selection of drinks and snacks available on board. On a sunny day I would recommend you take a picnic lunch & do the Matakana Island visit.

Spent a scenic hour cruising round the island and harbour.

It was our first time to experience this but we felt right at home with our friendly guide. The trikes were easy to navigate and when we were tired paddling, we enjoyed just floating and dipping our feet in the ocean. My 5 children and I paired up and raced around even had fun reverse paddling 😊. We highly recommend this and we will definitely visit again. Thank you Aqua Trike for the amazing experience.

Had the most amazing day on the water with Island Explorer Island and Wildlife Cruise. The staff were wonderful and informative and we spent time with dolphins, and leatherback turtles, and sunfish along with seeing penguins and a couple of sharks, well worth the day and will do it again.

Great little hour to spend in the harbour. Great tour guides & tour information. Thank you

An amazing experience with great training & helpful staff looking after you. The 2 hours fly past as you get used to the techniques & the waves while the wetsuit keeps you warm & comfortable. I watched the younger learners riding waves quite early on & the rush when you finally catch one & stay on the deck is awesome. Thanks to Jess & the team for making us feel safe and guiding me through a very memorable day. 🏄🤙

Friendly staff ? I enjoyed a lot

Such an amazing activity to do: affordable price, great service, super super friendly staff and beautiful views. Highly recommended A+++++++++

Great trip - excellent way to see Tauranga harbour. Pilot and deckhand were pleasant.

Meal was lovely, steak cooked as requested. Pork Belly was a little dry but the rest of dish complemented it. Churros delicious. Will be back for sure. Thanks

Food was delish 😋

Wow what an incredible meal! Warm cosy and friendly atmosphere on a cold rainy night. Lovely aroma of roasted and smoked meat! Beautiful dishes going out constantly! I was getting food envy planning what I would have on my next visit. I had a lovely chilled white wine and actually chose two entree dishes as I couldn’t choose from the delicious sounding options. I had beef dumplings in a lovely sesame chilli oil and the creation was like something from the master chef kitchen! I also had a pulled pork taco so when the brisket and roast veggies came out I had to take it home!
