Cruise Auckland’s upper Waitematā Harbour to the historic Riverhead Tavern, where rich history, stunning views, and award-winning hospitality await
This is the second time we have done this cruise and would definitely recommend it. A great way to see parts of Auckland you wouldn't usually get to see. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The Riverhead always does fantastic food.
Nice experience and friendly crew, although the ship is very old and need a proper renovation
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip up to Riverhead on Red Boats. Whole trip was 5 and a 1.2hrs, which made it good value for money.
Beautiful peaceful experience Great group of people Staff amazing accommodating

Thoroughly enjoyable Riverhead Cruise
Such an enjoyable, leisurely cruise up the river on the Red Boat. What a great way to relax and take in the sights along the way. While dining at the Landing restaurant is a separate cost, the food and ambience is excellent. Definitely worth going.
