Depart from Westhaven Marina, Auckland, and leave the city behind as you cruise into the sheltered, untouched waters of the upper Waitematā Harbour. Pass under Auckland’s Harbour Bridge, then cruise past the Chelsea Sugar Refinery, Kauri Point, and Herald Island into the Upper Harbour estuary. As you go, enjoy the informative onboard commentary and a few drinks from the bar (at your own expense). Next, continue on past Riverlea, Brigham’s Creek, and Harkins Point. After 1.5 hours of cruising, arrive at The Riverhead, an award-winning, historic tavern.
