Traveler reviews
An unforgettable evening!
We were fortunate enough to book onto a Captain Cook cruise for New Year’s Eve in 2025. Unlike some of the other boats we saw, ours wasn’t crowded and there was a good mix of ages enjoying the trip. Although expensive this was a once in a lifetime experience for us and the buffet, friendly crew, unlimited drinks and two firework displays made for an unforgettable evening.
No Commentary on the Boat
Be aware that when you book this tour you will need to download an App and bring headphones if you want to hear an overview on the places you are seeing and stopping at in the harbour. The description of this tour doesn't say this so we didn't bring any headphones. We had assumed there would a commentary either by the captain or the assistant but there isn't.
Terrible do not lose your money on this tour
It's no better than taking a ferry. We thought someone would take care of us but no you had to upload an app and the ferry almost didn't go to points of interest. It was like a hop on hop off boat but our ticket didn't allow us to disembark at all four stops. Do not lose your money on this tour.
