360 Discovery Introduction
There has been much talk in recent years about how 360 Discovery cruise tours in Auckland can cram what once took us three weeks to complete into a nice 65-hour working week. That leaves us with more time to do more stuff, but no-one's stopping to smell the proverbial roses.
You don't have to slow right down to enjoy our boat cruises in Auckland. A relaxing day trip or a weekend away, or if you are really pressed for time, a 90-minute break is well within your reach with 360 Discovery.
Our modest wee harbour operator has a four vessel fleet of modern catamarans that provide cruise tours around Auckland. These range from a weekend away on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula to a an excellent little harbour cruise, along with boat charters around Auckland as well. All vessels are fully licensed.

For further information about our boat cruises in Auckland, please contact us or visit our cruise tours in Auckland Web site.
Wildlife Discovery – Tiritiri Matangi Island is managed by the Department of Conservation in partnership with supporters of Tiritiri Matangi Island. The “open sanctuary” status allows you to visit, and enjoy this rare treat.
Guided walks provide expert commentary and lend context to both animal life and the historical and archaeological features of the island. Walking tracks and look-out points offer spectacular views of the Hauraki Gulf.
Coromandel Discovery – Enjoy an almost infinite bag of delights at the heritage township and surrounding landscape that Coromandel has to offer. Our cruise tours around Auckland begin with a two-hour cruise from downtown Auckland's Pier 4. You'll more than likely find that we're accompanied by a pod of playful dolphins too, they love the Coromandel.
You'll be picked up by a Coromandel Discovery coach, where your day includes an hour of cafes and crafts in Coromandel town, a chance to try your hand at a spot of gold mining, and an opportunity to experience New Zealand's only narrow gauge mountain railway.
Harbour Discovery – Auckland's sparkling Waitemata Harbour is a thing of beauty. Our cruise tours around Auckland travel past Devonport and the North Head, then we cruise towards Rangitoto Island and past the historic Bean Rock lighthouse. It's under the Auckland Harbour Bridge next, on the way to Westhaven for a glimpse of super yachts.
This tour runs three times per day, and for a small additional cost, our lunch-time cruise offers a classic BBQ lunch cooked on the back deck of the boat.
Island Discovery – Enjoy a full or half-day tour to the uninhabited Motuihe Island, which boasts some of the finest white sandy beaches in the Hauraki Gulf.
Rich in the history of both early settlers and indigenous people, one of its claims to fame has been as an internment camp for prisoners of war.
There's something for everyone on Motuihe, including swimming, tramping, or involvement in the ongoing eco-restoration of this striking island.
Golf Discovery – Fancy a round of world-class golf? Gulf Harbour Country Club on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula is the home of New Zealand's premier professional golf tournament, and is the destination of our exclusive Golf Discovery.
You and your group will be transferred to the club for an invigorating 18 holes. This is a spectacularly situated course that offers panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf with Auckland City in the distance. Near the end of the day we will pick you up in time to catch our return trip and be back in Auckland just before 5 pm.
Fishing Discovery – We know where all the best spots are. Join our team and begin your exclusive fishing discovery in the bountiful waters off the Coromandel coast.
Four is the ideal number for this special experience, and our knowledgeable fishing guide will help you as much, or as little, as your group requires.
Exclusive-Hire Options – Our boat charters around Auckland are an excellent way to celebrate events, from a special occasion to your annual Christmas party, or a company anniversary or other corporate function.
Pretend that you have your own catamaran for a few hours, and impress your friends by welcoming them onto “your” boat for a party on the harbour.
Our standard packages cater for from 40 to 160 people, and we are happy to tailor our experiences to suit any special requirements you may have.
