Friendly staff ? I enjoyed a lot

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

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

Spent a scenic hour cruising round the island and harbour.

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

Awesome. Really nice staff. Cruise was amazing.

Incredible food, great service

We would recommend Norris and Bell to everyone. The food was awesome and service extremely friendly.

Food was sooooo good, loved the ease of using a tablet to order. It sits on your table the entire meal so if you want to add drinks etc. No need to wait for the staff. It is brought to you when ready. Food was so good. Loved the buttermilk chicken. Pizzas were the best

Enjoyed our time, staff was accommodating and friendly. Food was nice! We got normal fries although we did asked for shoe strings fries from the menu. None the less we had a good time.

Good atmosphere, great food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

A great day out with the crew got to see so dolphins and even Bruce (Jaws). Great commentary from the skipper about what was going on and where the dolphins where, and Izzy (sorry if i got your name wrong) spotting them. The swell was making it hard to get photos but I got a few good ones. The 4 stars does not mean things where lacking but if everyone gave 5 stars they my slip in the service

Great trip, great staff friendly, knowledgeable. We saw a pod of 80 to 100 dolphins which was fabulous. It was an older bigger boat but made very enjoyable by the staff.

Fantastic day out! Highly recommend

The service and commentary was great. I loved listening to NZ history. The boat ride is a little long, a lot of waiting but I can imagine it being difficult having to find wildlife. We saw dolphins and a seal which was beautiful. Thank goodness we took antinausea tabs before the trip because it worked like wonders, highly recommend you doing that too because a few were feeling sea sick. Overall it was a great, thanks for the awesome experience.

This was an absolute amazing and incredible experience. Brandon and Heidi were a super team and made the day great for everyone. We saw a huge pod of Dolphins, and we were so close to the water that we could hear the dolphins talking in the water. My daughter is autistic and they were really good with her. Thank you

We enjoyed our cruise. The timing was just enough, we saw ample dolphins. The cruise itself was smooth sailing, our ‘captain’ was well knowledged, friendly and accomodating. Got to take our own food and drink. Would highly recommend, perfect for all ages and we would definitely consider doing it again Only con would be the toilet room is quite small

Friendly crew. I loads of Dolphins to see. Kids loved it too.5/5

Wow what an awesome crew and amazing experience! Two pods of dolphins that just wanted to chill with and play. Incredible! And the weather and water couldn't have been better. Dream day. Thank you!

What an amazing day on the water. Dolphins, penguins, other bird life, fish and good conversation.

Thanks to Bradon and Heidi for making this cruise a memorable experience for the seven of us (despite the small number). I wished I had seen any whale, but the leatherback turtles, blue penguins, and pods of dolphins would make up for that. I highly recommend this activity not only to support local businesses but also for those who would like to experience something new, different, and educational.

Nice people plus good view

Great environment, staff were great, nice looking modern restaurant. I really enjoyed my meal especially the Awhi ruapehu scotch fillet was really soft and I ordered for medium it was perfect cooked which also the sauce goes very well with the fillet and potatoes just love it! The starter was also good but tiger prawn was slightly overcooked abit, the yum yum sauce on top was a great taste but the guanciale crumble was not really making sense with the dish. Overall it was great and definitely would be back again for another scotch fillet!!

Had a great evening snack here. Was nice to have the Jazz festival going on in the background. We did not order a Main course as no one attended us for some time even after we were finished with our appetisers but can’t blame them completely as we could see only 2 waitstaff catering to quite a few guests. Will definitely give it a second go on a quieter day.

Wonderful experience, we did this for my mothers Christmas present and saw an abundance of wildlife; dolphins, hammerheads, turtles and manta rays. The staff were very informative and friendly, the skipper was exceptional. Highly recommend

Fantastic day out on the water. Saw lots of dolphins, a hammer head shark and some penguins. A great experience. My husband loved getting in the deep ocean for the free swim too

We saw over 50 dolphins 🐬 super fun to swam in the ocean 🌊 thanks to all the friendly staffs

We saw a lot of dolphins and it's worth it. Though we can't swim with them as there are juveniles, it's a very nice trip. Lovely day with dolphins.

It was really fantastic trip for us and we’re pretty lucky to spot the dolphins twice! The crew were really friendly and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our day. It is a highly recommended
