Join Waipa Delta River Cruises and cruise New Zealand's beautiful Auckland Harbour.

Enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner as lush willow-clad banks and an ever-changing skyline slip slowly by. Learn the rich history of the area as we pass historical sites.

The original paddle-steamer, the Waipa, transported settlers to the fertile heartland of the Waikato as far back as 1876. Today, just as they did in the 1800's, you can take a pleasure journey up and down this beautiful river.

The beautiful meals on offer complement the beautiful views - Join Waipa Delta River Cruises for Lunch or Dinner, including the unique and mouth-watering Stonegrill dining experience - your meal served to you steaming on a volcanic stone heated to 400 degrees Celsius!
