Thanks for taking the time to leave your review Reena. Really pleased you enjoyed the trip too!
Loved the guided tour. It was very informative. The guide was also very knowledgable and kind. A must do thing when you visit Auckand.
There were only few fish like snappers through the glass bottom.
Book.me allow me to book although operators cancelled the boat trip. Integration between book.me and operator not working apparently. Drove all the way there for no boat trip.
Thanks for leaving your review. Apologies for the technical glitch that caused this to happen. Note that we advise all customers to check the website before they leave home - it's updated at around 0800 as to whether the boat is operating or not. Please do check in again and rebook when it's convenient to you. Availability is on our website.
The captain used his profound knowledge and humorous language to explain the fishes to us which made the trip very interesting. 5 star recommendation
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review - and thanks for your kind words! Rgds Capt Griff
