Auckland Sunset Harbour Cruise

Step aboard a classic wooden vessel and experience Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour from the water, one of the city’s best viewpoints. Departing from Westhaven Marina, this scenic evening cruise takes you through golden hour and into twilight, with beautiful views of the skyline, Sky Tower, waterfront, and harbour landmarks. Feel the charm of a heritage-style vessel as you cruise at a relaxed pace, with timber beneath your feet, sea air around you, and the harbour opening up ahead. A highlight of the journey is passing beneath the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge, opened in 1959 and still one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. Enjoy relaxed live commentary from your crew, sharing stories of Auckland’s harbour, maritime history, and local sights along the way. As the sun lowers, the water glows, the city lights begin to sparkle, and Auckland reveals a softer, more magical side from the sea. Perfect for couples, families, friends, visitors, and locals.
