Incredible Scenic Nature Harbour Boat Cruise - Wahinemoe

5.00We have holidayed in Raglan for 16 years (auckland based)and took our 5 children (21yrs-4yrs) on the family operated Scenic harbour cruise in Raglan for the first time. What an incredibly beautiful experience to witness Raglan and the harbour from a different perspective. Both Andy (captain & owner) & his nephew Ashton were both so personal, friendly and extremely approachable with humorous & family orientated interpersonal skills. They were fabulous guides providing relevant commentary throughout the cruise & had incredible knowledge of the Raglan area, sharing historical, local and ancestoral stories of the land and community. Just fantastic! The cruise itself was stunning, well paced and so smooth. No seasickness at all for the little ones - felt like you werent moving. Onboard, Wahinemoe (which we learnt is the name of the volcano there) was lovely, tidy, clean, so spacious, offering two levels with both indoor and outdoor viewing. Multiple decking and tables front, side and back to relax or take photos from. Tables for drinks or snacks from the onboard snack bar. Loved the convenience of onboard eftpos with alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks and snacks for all ages. There were photo stops to really experience the picturesque views & such great conversation and interaction with Andy & Ashton the entire time. I highly recommend Raglan Harbour Cruise Wahinemoe as a MUST DO experience for all ages or group configuration! Thank you Andy & Ashton for such a beautiful experience. Just fabulous 💚 Reneè & Family

5.00A very enjoyable trip from 12 noon to 1.30 pm (Nature cruise) on Sat 13 Dec 2025. The boat is a catamaran and so is very smooth (stable) and quiet. Great commentary from skipper Barlow and support from Nina (support staff). Top marks.
A fab afternoon on the harbour!
