What you can expect

Be one of the first to feel the ultra-smooth ride inside the electric hydrofoil and let it take you around the Auckland harbour in a 40-minute tour, including a drink and snacks. Departing from the viaduct harbour marina, the at first standard-looking vessel can fit up to six guests and reach top speeds of 25 knots. As you head out on the water, with increasing speed, the boat rises above the water surface and can skip over waves and other boats' wakes easily. Manta VS-9 is the first of its kind in the world to offer tourism rides, feeling 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. It is also emission free with minor impacts on the environment, so you can enjoy this tour with good conscience. Feel the magic of this brand-new innovation and share the thrill with your friends.
