Auckland's Harbour not only provides a great venue for a cruise itself, but also acts as a scenic gateway to more cruise opportunities that lie beyond - all of which offer a great day, afternoon or night out on the water. Various cruises on Auckland Harbour cater to all tastes, with dinner cruises adding a delicious dining experience with a touch of romance, sightseeing cruises that encompass all of the city's essential landmarks, and sailing cruises that let you have more of a hands-on experience, the opportunities are many and varied.
If you're looking to head further out to open water, you can cruise to lovely Rangitoto Island with its unique combination of lava crops and native bush, or push on further with a full day islands sailing adventure that will let you sail past the region's many islands, go for a dip or a scenic stroll and enjoy a delicious lunch all in one package.
