Viaduct Harbour
A downtown waterfront marina, home base of the 2000 America's Cup, lined with restaurants and bars and serving as a departure point for sailing trips.
Viaduct Harbour was converted from a former fishing harbour. It was the America's Cup base for the 2000, 2003, and 2021 races. The harbour is full of superyachts and racing yachts, and the waterfront is lined with seafood restaurants, bars, and terraces, which get lively at night. Many companies here offer sailing experiences, whale and dolphin watching cruises (Bryde's whales and dolphins are often spotted), and the chance to sail an America's Cup race yacht. It's about a 10-minute walk from the Sky Tower. You can follow the waterfront path past the Te Wero swing bridge to Wynyard Quarter. Free to visit.
