Great educational experience

Our group of friends found this to be very enjoyable, scenic and informative. The trip gives a different view of Auckland, including seeing someone bungy jump off the harbour bridge. The captain and his crew mate were very good at explaining the technical details of the electric hydrofoil, seeing it all in action was very interesting. The boat was beautifully clean and comfortable.
