An amazing experience that I would highly recommend. The crew were very welcoming and friendly, highly educated and answered many questions. Saw both dolphins and whales on the trip and was blown away by the scenery. You get a once in a lifetime experience which is completely worth the money!

I love dolphins while am not willing to visit them in the aquarium. It was fantastic to meet them in such a natural way. It was the first time I saw dolphins. They were truly active and social, comparing to whales. I took some awesome photos of them and can’t wait to share.

Fantastic priceless experience

Such a fantastic day out on the harbour for the whole family. We took the kids (11 and 13) and although the 11 year old got a bit crook it was still such a fantastic day. We were blessed to find a pod of several hundred dolphins who hung around the boat for about an hour jumping out of the water and spinning around jumping over back and forth. We sped up and they sped up. We slowed down and they slowed down. It was such an amazing experience! The captains were fantastic and invited my 13 year old to sit in the captains seat for about an hour on the way back which was an opportunity of a lifetime for him and something he will never forget. Thanks guys! All staff were friendly and amazing and so helpful and knowledgeable. We all learned a lot from the commentary and we will definitely come on another trip! So grateful to have such an amazing marine ecosystem right in our own backyard in Auckland and grateful for an amazing company to show us ❤️

We had excellent weather and saw 2 pods of dolphins. Got to spend a decent amount of time at each spot and got some good photos. Just a shame we didn't see any whales but that's out of their control and we still had an amazing time.

Great evening. We caught so many snappers! Skipper Mike was great help to everyone as most of us were fairly new to open waters fishing. Good boat, good equipment, friendly service. All in all a great trip.

Take your togs, sunscreen, drinks and food

And be prepared to just relax. Even with COVID-19 Alert Level 2 restrictions, we had a great day out travelling on the Kawau Island Ferry doing the Royal Mail Run Return Cruise. Sitting on the top deck, chatting to strangers, listening to the short, but informative skipper explaining the highlights of the tour was just right for us. Based upon my previous trips (more than 25 years ago), I knew to pack plenty of snacks, drinks and sunscreen. We boarded the Ferry at 1030h and stayed on board until almost 1300h at Mansion House. As we had other obligations that afternoon, we could only stay until the 1400h return sailing so opted for the Mansion House Tour. Had we taken the later 1630h ferry back, we would have also done one of the recommended hikes around the island.

To Kawau on Royal Mail Run

Loved the experience. It was an enjoyable journey and the ferry was not too crowded too. Food and beverage available upon request. The island was overwhelmed in solitude and serenity. The cooing of various birds freckled the daylight air. The beaches were good. But ladies bay was impeccably awesome. Treading there thru a narrow cleft in the rocks was challenging but the destination was great . Can't stay there much becuse the tide picks up and gettin back on to the cleft to exit would eventually be a swim. So dip in early and dry out quick. Cafe was good and staff was friendly. Mansion was open to viewing between 12 and 3 pm. The old copper mine is an hours walk from the ferry terminal but definately worth it. Looks majestic. Must visit place guys and on the royal main run. Good word team

Fabulous day trip

This cruise was perfect. After dropping off goods at various bays along one side of the island we disembarked at Mansion House Bay at lunchtime. There was a cafe open for those who didn't order the BBQ lunch option onboard. For $10 Mansion House was open to wander around and imagine what life was like a couple of centuries ago. Some tracks were open to go walking along the cliffs for amazing views or through the native bush and pines - birdlife could be seen or heard including peacocks and wekas. The track to discover old relics of the copper mine was a relaxing walk, following the coastline along the cliff, down and around a bay when the tide was out, then back through the pines and bush. Afternoon tea back at the cafe, a dip in the bay to cool down, then back on the 4.30pm boat to Sandspit.

Lovely day out calling in to lots of the mainly privately owned jetties dropping people & frieght, so no trip will be the same. Dropped at Mansion House by 13.00. As the 16.30 ferry was running that meant i had plenty of time for lunch at the cafe & a walk to the copper mine. You could have got off at Mansion House on the first stop just before 12 if no 16.30 ferry running and you more time on land.

Really cool to see the different houses and get a glimpse of island life. It's a decent cruise, arriving at mansion house at around 1pm. We had the option to return at 2pm or 4:30pm, the latter gave us time to explore a bit and have a swim. Appreciate the captain's knowledge but would have been great to also hear precolonial and geological history of the island, native flora and fauna. Why it was fought over by Māori, why these minerals were found here exclusively, etc. Kawau was named after a bird that we saw many of around the coast but there was no mention of that at all Overall great experience on a perfect day, remember a hat and sunscreen!

Had an awesome day out! We arrived about 10:45 kids playground was open and rest of the park opened at 11:00 am. We were greeted with a welcoming smile and a map for times and explination of what closes for short periods. Rain sprinkled but luckily rides dont close down. All staff were friendly, and carried out excellent saftey checks on gear before launching us vertically or horizontally into the air. Lucky for us no lines, but felt for the park as that meant not much business. Awesome mini bus that takes you up the hill for the rides but if you want some extra cardio on the legs you are able to walk up. Had a quick fix of the deep fryer for the food which filled a gap. Not much in the gluten free range on offer. Overall great day, great venue, great staff

Great for little kids as all the rides are safe. Just not as much to choose from as rainbows end but a lot cheaper but further drive to get there. But worth it as you don't have any long lines to wait in. Love the water slide they have in summer for only 2 or 3 hours I think.

I'd give five star if the wait for the ride wasn't so long for sure. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the ultimate pass was great value for money. We had so much fun and the kids loved it. The wait at the zipline was quite long (45 mins easily), it would have sped things up a lot if there were two staff helping people. It was a pity that we weren't able to go on the shooting star as it was broken but we managed to get on the luge ride many times during the day. Last time we went there was the tube slide which is now gone. The 4D cinema was a little disappointed but if you're looking for something a little more relaxing then it's probably a good one.
