Weather was great and the boat guide was informative but didn’t overwhelm us with excess talking. Good way to see Auckland if only one day.

Really enjoyed the boat. However , what spoilt it was people were talking over the guide as she was explaining the significance of parts of the Auckland harbour. It appeared to be those that didn’t speak English. They just kept talking above what she said. A real pity.
