Description
Take your Auckland adventure to new heights on the Electric Hydrofoil Harbour Cruise. This world-first electric cruise offers an eco-friendly and truly unique way to experience Auckland’s Harbour. Step aboard Manta, the state-of-the-art, fully electric hydrofoiling vessel that glides smoothly above the water, providing an ultra-quiet and comfortable ride unlike any other.
Departing from Viaduct Harbour Marina, your 40-minute journey combines cutting-edge technology with exceptional views of Auckland’s skyline and Harbour Bridge. As the hydrofoil lifts gracefully out of the water, you’ll feel as if you’re flying just above the surface, cruising effortlessly at speeds of up to 25 knots. Throughout the trip, your experienced crew share insights into Auckland’s marine environment and explain how hydrofoiling reduces wake and protects the harbour ecosystem.
Designed for small groups of up to six guests, Manta delivers an intimate and sustainable experience on the Hauraki Gulf. The vessel’s zero-emissions technology ensures a minimal environmental footprint, while precision-engineered foils guarantee stability in all conditions. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this electric harbour cruise offers a fresh perspective on Auckland’s waters and a glimpse into the future of sustainable travel.
