Auckland Night Lights Harbour Cruise | The Red Boats | Shaara Deals

A 2 hour after-dark harbour cruise with drinks and a grazing table, taking in Auckland's illuminated skyline, with The Red Boats on Shaara Deals from $75.

September 19, 2026

Auckland Harbour looks different once the sun goes down, and The Red Boats built the Night Lights Cruise specifically around that: a 2-hour evening cruise timed to watch the city switch from daylight to skyline glow.


This is the after-dark counterpart to the Red Boats' daytime cruises, like the 90-minute Auckland Harbour Cruise and the buffet-style Lunch Cruise. Same Westhaven departure point, same relaxed on-the-water format, but with the Auckland skyline lit up rather than sunlit.


What's onboard


As the boat cruises out across the Waitematā, you'll get a drink and a generous grazing table included, so there's food and something to sip on while you take in the sparkling views of Viaduct Harbour, the Auckland Harbour Bridge lit up against the night sky, Devonport across the water, and the glowing Auckland skyline itself.


It's a more atmospheric, low-key version of a harbour cruise, better suited to a date night, a birthday, or just wanting to see Auckland's waterfront from a different angle than the usual daytime view.


Not quite what you're after?


If you'd rather fish than float and sip, The Red Boats also run full-day Snapper fishing charters out in the Hauraki Gulf from the same base at Westhaven.

Is this a good option for a special occasion?
