Auckland: Scenic Boat Cruise to the Riverhead Tavern

Depart from Westhaven Marina, Auckland, and leave the city behind as you cruise into the sheltered, untouched waters of the upper Waitematā Harbour.

Pass under Auckland's Harbour Bridge, then cruise past the Chelsea Sugar Refinery, Kauri Point, and Herald Island into the Upper Harbour estuary. As you go, enjoy the informative onboard commentary and a few drinks from the bar (at your own expense).

Next, continue on past Riverlea, Brigham's Creek, and Harkins Point. After 1.5 hours of cruising, arrive at The Riverhead, an award-winning, historic tavern.

There, head ashore and savor a fantastic meal and drinks (at your own expense) in one of the oldest and most prestigious riverside taverns in New Zealand.

After a couple of hours of fine dining and waterside scenery, hop aboard the vessel again. Soak up the spectacular scenery of Auckland's Upper Harbour as you head back to the city.
