Escape the hectic of life and experience the beauty of the lake and the Māori Rock Carvings on Lake Taupō's largest charter yacht Kindred Spirit with superior comfort
Come on board and experience the beauty of a scenic sailing tour to the Māori Rock Carvings, one of the most extraordinary contemporary carvings in the world. Only view-able from the water, the likeness of Ngātoroirangi towers 14-meters above Lake Taupō, surrounded by over 40 smaller carvings.
Escape from hectic life for a while and enjoy the breathtaking views around. Listen to our experienced skippers and learn about the history of the lake. Give the crew a hand hoisting the sails and take a turn on the wheel or just snuggle under some blankets and enjoy the wide selection of drinks.
Kindred Spirit sails under full sails as much as possible or gently meanders, when it is truly calm, by a quite inboard diesel engine.
Take a dip and swim in the crystal-clear waters of the largest freshwater lake in Australasia. We offer the longest swim stop out of any company on the lake (weather dependent)!
There is a bathroom and changing room facilities on board.

Awesome experience
Really great skipper, very friendly and experienced, it was a bit choppy the day we went out but it was still an amazing thing to see along with the splendid sailing experience.

Great time
Was a great time the skipper was a nice guy. Unfortunately we couldn't get to the carvings as the weatherade it to choppy and that wood be the only reason I did 4 not 5 stars. Was still a relaxing experience that I thoroughly enjoyed we will be bak

Hi Amy, thank you for your review. I now it was a bugger that you couldn't make it there, but as you said, it was just too rough out of the bay that day. Awesome to hear you still enjoyed it. It would be awesome to welcome you back on board

A very pleasant and relaxing cruise to interesting spots. Much to be recommended. You might even get a "spin" at the wheel!

Amazing experience
We grabbed an amazing deal off Book Me however I'd be more then happy to pay full price for this experience again. Amazing local knowledge of the area by crew. The crew and other passengers on board would have to have been the best group of people I've been around in a very long time. We will definitely be back and we would highly recommended it to everybody we know and see. Fantastic job crew
