the weather was amazing and made the trip so pleasurable, staff were fantastic! what was disappointing was the fact that we pre ordered our food back in august and was sent an email 24 hrs before to confirm our choices, when on board we got something completely different and I felt it was of a lesser value. don't confirm my choices if you have no intension of delivering

Crew was welcoming and comedic. Me and my friend aren’t from Auckland so they told us about everything we seen from the boats, the houses, to the stars, very lovely food and company. Was gorgeous out on the water at sunset with a huge full moon rising it was a magical experience, even seen a few shooting stars! They have blankets on board for when it gets chilly although I do recommend bringing a jacket and dressing warm! You’ll thank yourself for it.

Great evening out on the water (but do dress warm as it gets chilly). It was really nice just being able to moving about the boat and enjoy the scenery. Crew were accomodating and food was delicious - we had the chicken and steak, definitely recommend as it was well worth the money.
