Pleasant
It was an hour’s cruise up and down The Waikato River, not loads to see but a relaxing and pleasant experience - good value.

.. but I bet the view was better than all of the other Cafes in town combined? Thanks for taking the time to review the trip Helen.

Relaxing river cruise
A very pleasant trip, just the right amount of time to spend on the river, staff were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely light lunch onboard, kids loved the grub?

Waikato River Cruise
Waikato River boat cruise. Good value. Skipper and crew were knowledgeable and friendly. No continuous talking on the intercom, allowed passengers to digest words and think about the experience. l recommend this activity for Kiwi's, not just tourists.
