  Fantastic day out. We did the museum which was very well thought out and beautifully presented. We then headed for a sail on one of their 3 boat options: The Ted Ashby. The crew, all volunteers, were very professional and knowledgeable. Made for a fantastic sail

  Interesting, great low key museum where you can take young children to explore New Zealand's sailing history. Staff were disappointing, they represent NZ to overseas visitors and their greeting was non existent. Over heard a customer service representative interupting another who was instructing her on something say, "...hold on while I finish snap chatting!" While there were visitors in the souvenir / entrance and being in full view of the public. Not a good service experience but a good worthwhile place to visit.

  It is much larger and more comprehensive than you may have been led to expect. It starts from the first voyagers to reach the island and progresses through the ages. How some of those small craft survived is a testament to New Zealand's maritime roots.

  It took me years to walk in that door. Free for NZ'ders!!! A must see! Very well executed. Educational and interactive. A great place to take kids

  So much to see and interact with. I loved listening to the stories about lighthouses in my comfy chair. I could have spent hours just in that room. My husband and I left after more than a couple of hours so wishing we'd had more energy to keep going! We would definitely return if we ever have the opportunity.
