In addition to a relaxing or adventurous Boat Cruise or Yacht Charter Cruise on Auckland's Harbour, perhaps consider a fishing charter around Hauraki Gulf Islands, and in close proximity to Waiheke Island. Book a company and fish within the the Gulf Islands. Alternatively maybe catch the ferry, e.g Fullers (http://www.fullers.co.nz/) from the downtown ferry building at the waterfront. Perhaps book as a group and and arrange in terms of cost effectiveness, duration, time of day, any training, tackle and bait supply, comfort, catering, and other relevant features and services (e.g. filleting and cleaning, food preparation, and best snapper spots. You need to ask for such features, and whether if the skipper is an experienced fisherman, that can provide expert advice, if you are a novice.
Maybe experience the Explorer Tour, to enjoy scenic, sight-seeing, and other activities from Fullers ferries. Waiheke is an island to enjoy, for you, your partner, friends, and family as a tour to remember. Arrange early with a operator, and amongst your group for maximum enjoyment and efficiency. This can include cost sharing, preferred fishing rigs, Auckland's weather forcast, suitable clothing, suitable spots, and perhaps tips, either from others in the know, or browsing sites like NZ's Fishing Net. Or visit Youtube for a abundance of harbour fishing videos.
