I agree with the other review! Best meal of the trip! I wasn't expecting much for a buffet style…read moreChinese restaurant way out in north NZ but I was left very very satisfied. Even when I was here there were many locals eating here and singing songs in large groups. The atmosphere and the food was a real treat. They have some sort of signature pork belly, that wasn't my favorite. Instead a bottle of red beer, and unlimited potstickers and their amazing chow mien, finish off with some self serve ice cream and a bowl of fresh fruits. I'm glad to have stopped here two times on my trip.

Bland chicken with lemon sauce and prawn dim sum. Loud children of staff that takes away from any ambiance. Place looked disorganized. Not a place that is recommended. Bad experience. Don't go.

Being my usual self i cannot remember names very well so i cannot recall the skippers / host name but he was a real friendly guy who kept everyone entertained throughout and made sure ran as it should be. But firstly be warned when you first set off he will get everyone to get up and introduce themselves and say a little something about them. For this he gets you to don a sailors hat and a pair of them silly glasses that conceal your real eyes so as to make it less of an embarrassment. Then as you sail up towards the falls everyone is free to mingle if so wish or just take in the scenery passing by. The crew on board get busy preparing the food. Starters was garlic bread , shrimps and mussels. A choice was given for the main . Either T-bone steak or lamb. I chose the lamb and i must admit it was the best lamb i have tasted for a long long time. Awesomely delicious!!! My other half thought her steak was okay but obviously not as excited about it as i was with my lamb. I reckon these guys should be on Masterchef or the like!! A bar is open and the method of payment is that you set up a tab and pay before returning to Paihia. They will take you up close to the Falls and photos are taken and then back to Pahia. We bought tickets through a special deal so it was a pretty good price and i reckon it was really good value for money and a good alternative to having dinner sitting in a restaurant on the street somewhere. Oh....and almost forget there is no chance of you getting seasick on this boat as it is real slow and does not go out into the open sea.
