Auckland Harbour Dinner Cruise

Come dusk, sail across attractive Waitematā Harbour. Guests are treated to welcome drinks, canapés, a three-course meal and glittering skyline views that get better as darkness falls.

Auckland Harbour Bridge

Carabiner-up and climb Auckland Harbour Bridge or bungy off its 40m ledge.

Auckland Whale & Dolphin Safari

Skim along Auckland’s turquoise waters on-board a 20m catamaran, scouring for Bryde’s whales and common dolphins. Cruises run daily, departing Viaduct Harbour.

Westhaven Marina

The Westhaven Promenade is a pretty waterside boardwalk winding its way from The Viaduct and under The Harbour Bridge to Herne Bay, passing scores of boats. The route is peppered with wooden sun loungers, small but surprising green lawns and a lick of sand. Electric bikes are available to rent at Westhaven Marina from Flux, based on the ground floor of the Sails Restaurant building.
