We didn't think it could get any better until we jumped on the cruise and were blown away by the breathtaking scenery!! Being 2 Aucklanders from a busy city, this cruise was life-changing. The boat was very comfy with lots of view points, spacious seating, complimentary hot drinks and helpful staff on each level. The tour guide was awesome and shared a lot of knowledge with us. He even took us up close to a few waterfalls (our fave parts!). We stayed at the top viewing deck for most of the cruise and laughed together with other tourists while battling the wind and getting splashed by the waterfalls, so definitely take a good rain jacket and a change of clothes/ towel for afterwards. BOOK THAT TRIP IN NOW ;)
