    I had read all the poor reviews before I left and, indeed, was witness to the long queues on a sunny Saturday as our bus drove past. There was no shade cover and no guarantee a ferry would be running to actually get a seat on.
    However.
    I went on the ferry to Devonport the night before and at around 7.30pm on the Friday all was quiet. Only about 4 of us on the sailing and it let me get lovely nighttime views looking back to the Auckland skyline which is what I'd been after.
    Others in my group spent a late afternoon in Devonport on the Saturday and enjoyed lovely walks and great fish & chips, but this was after 5pm.
    It seems trying to spend a day on any island is problematic ferry-wise but a 2-3 hr window of opportunity does exist. It shouldn't have to be this way but a good solution for tourists short on time. Worked out fine for me.

    The whole experience with Auckland Sea Shuttle was brilliant! The booking crew was easy and amazingly helpful, they went out of their way to solve my dilemmas and put together the best possible itinerary for me. The trip over was stunning, the boat was obviously really well maintained and the skipper was professional (and as a bonus really good looking ;) Hugely recommend these guys as a company that really wants to help their customers.. five stars 🤩

    Easily one of the best day out on water in Auckland!

    Amazing friendly knowledgeable skippers that put you on fish!

    A day to be remembered. I will definitely be back for another charter.
