Overview

Choose FlexiToursNZ for a premium tour. We put less seats in our vehicles than factory standard and only 3 seats in the back row.
Pay a little more to be comfortable and to have everything included. This tour involves a lot of driving and is more enjoyable if you are comfortable and not crushed up against other people.

Make sure you read the small print when you look at other tours and check what is included when you compare price.- We include a premium buffet lunch normally at Te Puia.

We keep the groups small with no more than 12 people on our vehicle, meaning our drivers can and will give you, personal service.

Check our reviews to see what people say about us, our vehicles, & our team of experienced and enthusiastic drivers.

All meals provided on the tour are prepared in a professional kitchen and normally served in a restaurant or café.
Occasionally Meals may be served picnic style

We pickup from all central locations as long as we can stop outside the hotel

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
