Port tours

We provide FREE public Boat Tours on the Waitemata Harbour, giving the public an opportunity to view our operations from the sea.

The hour-long tours take visitors alongside the container terminals where they can see the big cranes and other machinery at work. The tour boat weaves in and out of the commercial wharves, while an informative commentary explains how each area operates.
