Great family outing in Taupo
We went on the 10.30am sailing and found it a gorgeous morning on the water with the kids whilst on our family holiday. It was interesting to learn a bit more about Lake Taupo and the see the Maori carvings. Also nice to have a cup of coffee/ hot chocolate and yummy blueberry muffins on the cruise!

Lovely coments - thank you for joining us!

Not to miss.
Chris Jolly cruise to the Moari Rock Carving was the perfect 90 mins out on Taupo lake. The weather was perfect as was the crew,we were even given complimentary tea/coffee and the best blue Berry muffins,could get any better. Kids were given colouring doodles and a hunt for the kiwi icons around the boat,,with a lolly gift if you found all icons. The Moari carving is absolutely amazing,and well worth the trip . The all female crew were spot on,friendly ,helpful and informative through the whole 90mins,we definitely picked the best lake trip.
From Scenic Māori Rock Carving Cruise - Chris Jolly Outdoors
Thank you for your wonderful review and for sharing your beautiful photo of Lake Taupo. We are delighted you had such an enjoyable time on the water and that our crew helped make your experience memorable. We hope to welcome you aboard again on your next visit to Taupo.

All around a great cruise
We had a wonderful cruise. The boat is large and comfortable, we found downstairs better with children. The had hot muffins and a help yourself drink station (tea coffee etc). The crew were very friendly and the tour to the rocks was awesome. Highly recommend.
From Scenic Māori Rock Carving Cruise - Chris Jolly Outdoors

A Great day out
We found the crew to be really knowledgeable about the area. We had a lot of time to appreciate the rock carvings. It was very enjoyable cruise.
From Scenic Māori Rock Carving Cruise - Chris Jolly Outdoors
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the cruise and had plenty of time to take in the carvings. Great to hear you found the commentary informative as well.

Good but less than expected
A fun trip but less than expected. I assumed there would be multiple spots with large carvings how ever there is just the one spot with the carvings as pictured in the advertising. I still had fun and I think it is a worth while trip at the discount price if you are free but it was not what I expected. The fishing demo/information on trout fishing and tour on lake taupo was wonderful and there were snacks which definitely padded out the experience and I think should be featured more prominently in the marketing.
