The cruise was really nice ...we had an amazing view of the sunset, and to see the rock formations around the bay and the Sleeping Lady ,with the commentary from the skipper, it was really something we haven't done before...so it's really a wonderful experience!
A must do in Raglan particularly if a fine evening. We enjoyed yummy fish and chips on the Wahine Moe while cruising around the Whaingaroa Harbour taking in the fascinating history, geography and geology of this beautiful place. All topped off with a glorious sunset. The captain’s commentary during the trip was excellent, just the right balance of humour out and informative, and the crew were delightful and helpful. Highly recommended!
Best experience ever and worth the money
Amazing, highly recommend
Cruise with friends, have a great trip at inner sea... Raglan, Nice and Breeze..
Truly wonderful experience with knowledge, experienced captain and friendly on board patrons! Sunset was magnificent, definitely lending to the name off the tour
- [ ] We absolutely loved the Raglan Sunset Cruise! It was such a beautiful cruise and my mum and mum in law who normally get seasick found it so relaxing and enjoyable :) The water was so calm and we enjoyed the breeze at the top deck with the beautiful sunset just behind us. The boat and the toilet (which was also spacious) were clean and the string lights added to the magical ride back to the harbour. All these while enjoying a glass of pinot gris onboard! Shoutout to the whole crew who were very welcoming and friendly! I highly recommend this to everyone, it’s definitely worth it! This whole experience made me fall in love with sunsets, I’ll definitely do it again :)
The views on the sea, riverside and beaches during the sunset were amazing. The fish and chips were a fantastic touch with a drink coupled with interesting info spoken over the speakers by the captain make for a very entertaining and educational experience. The bathrooms are really impressive for a boat, like first class impressive
Nice relaxing cruise ending with a beautiful sunset. Only drawback were the flock of gulls that trailed with us - approx 30-50 (not exaggerating). They were crazy to watch for the first bit, but they never left us - drawn to the on- board fish & chips. They did make for some great sunset photos. The history of the area was interesting to hear and some of the rock formations were beautiful.
A great way to see another side of Raglan
Such a great experience! It didn’t matter that it wasn’t the best weather for a sunset, the commentary was outstanding and the fish and chips were so fresh! Learning about how the boats navigate crossing the bar into the harbour was fascinating as was the history of the area. We’ll be back another time to try our luck for that spectacular sunset!
It was a great experience being in this sunset cruise. My daughter loves watching the sunset and i love the sea so it was a perfect thing to do.It made me realize that God is so good for allowing us to see his creation.You won’t feel bored because the captain is so good in commentating and knows the history with good sense of humour.Try it if you are in Raglan❤️
A great experience
Helpful welcoming staff and great meal. Definitely recommend as value for money.
Highly recommend, was good when it was overcast so a sunny day would be better but there are good indoor, outdoor & covered spaces. Great staff & service and the food was delish & reasonably priced.
Last night we went on a canyoning trip with our guide Kevin(who also happens top be Dutch). It was a great experience. Good guidance and a lot of information during the trip. A little tea break with the magnificent sight of couple of hundred glowworms. An absolute must do If you are near Raglan.
Kids had so much fun!!!! Good vibe helpful team and lots of fun to be had will defs go back again
After our original party venue was cancelled due to rain, we jumped online and found Blastacars. The whole event from booking online, phoning to add 2 more kids, the friendly staff, entertaining briefing and 10 teens drifting for 20 mins went smoothly! Thanks team we will be back!
We had an awesome time on the Walk an Alpaca tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide who knew every animal by name and encouraged us to get to know and hug these adorable creatures. They are really well taken care of and are very friendly to humans, while each having their own unique personalities. We highly recommend this tour as everyone (both grown-ups and kids) came away beaming with smiles from this wonderful experience. Thanks Cornerstone Alpacas!
Very friendly accomodating, played with 2adults 3tween kids the dark side of the room started off to rocky start but once we got going we managed to complete with minutes to spare. Will definately go again keen to try the other room
A nice wander round to say hello to friendly animals and feed them some treats We were round and back at the car within 40 mins A good place for kids to have interaction with animals
Took my son who is special needs to Cornerstone to experience the Walk-An-Alpaca Tour! & it was such an amazing and cool experience to experience! Our tour guide was amazing, super friendly and well knowledgeable! It was cool to see our tour guide follow my sons cue which was good, she even encouraged my son to feed the alpaca which was very rewarding for my son & I! We ended up getting a bag of trail food as my son wanted to hand feed them when our tour ended! Son said he wants to go back so we will definitely come back very soon!
I loved it! I booked a farm tour. I had an amazing experience interacting with the friendly, fluffy alpacas and the two llamas. Afterwards I had a delicious real fruit ice cream.
