Raglan Boat Charters is located at the Raglan Wharf on Whaingaroa Harbour, the West Coast of New Zealand's North Island, 40 kms from Hamilton and approx 150kms from Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua. About our Cruises: Departing Raglan Wharf aboard the Wahinemoe to explore the charm of Whaingaroa Harbour – cruise past large conservation reserves, farmland and fishing villages.

We also have great relationships with many local artisan food producers and love incorporating some tasting into your tour. Our boutique lodges, guesthouses and bed and breakfasts have charming hosts that extend that warm kiwi hospitality. Our tracks include coastal walks, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, springs - the diversity is unparalleled. Whether you are looking at a two day visit or a two week visit, we can work some magic on an itinerary just for you.

This workshop is designed for entry-level carvers with zero carving experience, and will take up to 2 - 3 hours. In this workshop, we will cover the basic skills necessary for stone-carving and will guide participants through the process of creating a basic traditional Māori pendant - the roimata: a teardrop. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a fully completed and bound greenstone roimata to take home.

Check out the newest arcade in town. Test your skill playing the very latest games and compete against your mates. Play to earn tickets that can be exchanged for awesome prizes.

Kick things off in our glass room, where you’ll smash bottles using a baseball bat, crowbar, or hammer, soaking in the sound and explosiveness of shattering glass. From there, you’ll pick out your smash items before heading into the heavy hitting room for 20 minutes of all-out destruction using sledgehammers and crowbars. This is a fully supervised, high-energy session, with all safety gear provided - all you need to do is swing. What’s included: 20 smash credits, glass smashing with multiple tools, 20 minutes in the heavy hitting room, full safety briefing and supervision.
