Duration: The ferry returns to Viaduct Harbour Marina after 40 minutes, completing the first-in-the-world electric hydrofoiling tourism experience.

Unique Auckland experience

A harbour experience like no other! 40 minutes in the foiling boat, learning about the technology and having the smoothest ride on water. We had seen the foiling boats used as America’s cup support boats and loved the opportunity to experience the ride for ourselves. A fab way to see Auckland.
