Due to the success of last year’s Auckland Heritage Festival and the continued support of the Ports of Auckland we are delighted to announce a series of public sailings will be available in September this year.

The hour-long, family-friendly tours will cruise through the commercial wharves, providing a close-up view of port operations.

The trip will also include a special stop at the Auckland Harbour Bridge, where the William C Daldy proved its might salvaging a runaway piece of the bridge during its construction in 1958. Click Here for the full story!

A detailed heritage commentary will also offer a unique insight into the history of the port and Auckland.

The development of the city and port over more than 160 years is a fascinating story.

Daldy has the capacity for 120 passengers which, if based on last years success will fill very fast!

The tours are free; however, a donation to the William C Daldy Preservation Society is appreciated.

The tours will be held at 11.00am, 1.00pm and 3.00pm on Saturday 17th and 24th of September as well as Saturday 1st of October during the Auckland Heritage Festival.
