Paddle Steamer Waimarie
The highlight of my experience, Totally authentic.
You can even go down to the engine room and not only watch, but also feel, smell the experience. You even get a lesson from Steve the fireman.
Then when you get hungry, those scones are unbeatable, served by a fraulein who loves The river with such an intense passion. Thanks guys, especially Murray the skipper, this was my greatest experience ever.

Waipa Delta Paddleboat
I spent 2 months in Hamilton.
My experience on the Waipa Delta was the worst! It was way over priced, $175 (Including Wine) for 2, The meat was delicious, the vegetables inedible. The dining saloon was so noisy it was impossible for my partner & I to have a reasonable conversation. The whole boat appeared tired, in need of some TLC. On the credit side, the river was beautiful, from this perspective, good - But not worth the money
