Amazing Experience!
The crew was and experience was lovely! We had booked for mid July and they were ready with blankets for the cooler weather. There was both an inside and outside space that could be used, as well as complimentary coffee and tea. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would very much recommend!
Darcey from United Kingdom wrote on 16 August 2025
Great experience!
We had a great time with kindred spirit on our cruise. Although it was winter and we couldn’t swim (very understandable), the cruise was great with the guides offering lots of interesting stories and facts as we sailed, and a close up view of the carvings! (Bonus points for the hot drinks, ginger biscuits, bean bags and blankets)

Awesome sail to the Maori carvings!
Would do this trip again. So informative, welcoming & greats chats! This experience for both myself & my partner was a highlight of our trip!! We & our kids got to enjoy learning about Lake Taupo’s history & our kids recited their learnings on the way to lunch afterwards haha & we thought they weren’t listening. Both men are very skilful & knowledgeable, we were in great hands!

More than a cruise
What an *unforgettable experience*! 💖 From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt magical — the views, the vibe, and the lovely, friendly crew who made our journey even more special! 🌊⛵ The highlight? Witnessing the majestic Māori rock carvings up close — truly a masterpiece of culture, spirit, and storytelling. 🗿💫 The crew shared the meaning behind each carving, helping us understand the deep connection to Māori heritage and beliefs. It wasn’t just a cruise… it was a beautiful lesson in history and heart. 🧡🌿 Our family felt so welcomed and looked after the entire time. The calm waters, fresh air, and peaceful energy made it a perfect escape — and an experience we’ll always treasure. 🥰🌅 Highly recommended** for anyone visiting Taupō — this is a must-do! Thank you to the team for a journey we’ll never forget! 💕👏
