What you can expect
Be one of the first to feel the ultra-smooth ride inside the electric hydrofoil ferry and cruise around Auckland harbour in this 40-minute scenic tour, including a drink and snacks. Departing from the viaduct harbour marina, the vessel can reach top speeds of 25 knots and fits up to six guests. As you head out towards the gulf, with increasing speed, feel the boat rise above the water's surface with the ability to skip over waves and other boats' wakes easily. Manta VS-9 is the first of its kind in the world to offer tourism rides that feel more like flying than riding on a boat.
Through the extra-large windows, enjoy premium views of the Harbour Bridge and the Hauraki Gulf, accompanied by light commentary about landmarks, history and the marine environment in Auckland. Choose between one glass of champagne, light beer or a non-alcoholic drink to toast to this unique experience. The hydrofoil is emission-free with minor impacts on the environment, so you can enjoy this tour with a good conscience. Feel the magic of this brand-new innovation and share the thrill with your friends.
