Thoroughly enjoyed our trip aboard Barbary. Our captain, Jamie, was very entertaining and informative. We had beautiful weather, although the wind was lacking so we motored more than sailed. The kids loved a chance to steer the ship.

It was very amazing my boys enjoyed it loved the maori cravings and the yummy as pizza and drinks and the captain was absolutely awesome thanks heaps for an amazing experience something me and the boys will never forget. Thanks heaps I highly recommend

Very good experience and staff are so friendly. Will be back again.......

It was great experience. I highly Recommend

We had an awesome time! The weather was perfect—sunny and beautiful, though we didn’t get much wind for sailing. Even so, the experience was still really enjoyable. The day was memorable not just for us adults, but also for our 8-year-old, who had lots of questions for the skipper! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing, fun day out. We’ll definitely consider it again next time!

We brought our tickets online only 20 minutes before the last trip for the day (5:00 pm trip) and was by far the highlight of our long weekend! Our guide was awesome, friendly, hospitable and very knowledgeable about the history of Lake Taupo and the Maori rock carvings. The views were breathtaking... We will defiantly be back with friends soon!! Thanks for an amazing experience team!

Loved the flexibility of the skipper. We had a small, friendly bunch to sail with. That made it easy to move about the boat. The pizza aboard was a lovely touch. Our skipper was highly knowledgeable over the area, nz and so many other things. The swabs and bean bags are a great idea. Fortunate to have a spectacular weather. Shame about no wind. Gladly recommend to others

Even though the water was a bit rough, the experience was great! Big shout out to the crew, Craig and the Skipper. Got to meet people from different parts of the world which was lovely. Stopped for a swim in this beautiful cozy little spot. So glad we booked ourselves on this 2.5 hour trip. Was definitely worth the money. Memories to take home for sure ??

On a perfect day, to sail with David, and his little mate Sam, on a classic sailboat was an unforgettable experience! It was great to set sails, although in light winds, and hear the interesting background to the Maori carvings and Lake Taupo in general. Appreciated the cool drink on offer, and we couldn't wish for a more pleasant afternoon.

Loved our experience and my whole family had a wonderful time on the lake. The carvings were easy to see and it was up to our expectations! Great afternoon out and highly recommend this boat.

Had an amazing sailing trip with Sail Fearless! My 4 boys absolutely enjoyed it with the highlight nor only being the beautiful carvings, but being able to jump off the boat and swim in the beautiful crystal clear waters of Taupõ Moana! Thanks crew, definitely recommending to friends and whanau.

Great skipper and so informative. Staff were all excellent and so much fun

Really enjoyed our sail, great value for money. Very relaxing and interesting too Loved being powered by wind or electric - very peaceful and no fumes! We didn’t go on sunset cruise in the end but went the next morning.

Would 100% recommend this experience to everyone! The boat was well presented and in immaculate condition. The crew were all super friendly, very knowledgeable and just absolutely fantastic 5 starts for the crew! The views on the journey out were stunning and the rock carving itself was spectacular! Free hot drinks on board as well as alcoholic beverages you can buy, even got a freshly baked warm muffin for the journey back to the harbor!

The trip was memorable with the whole family on board and of course with the amazing staff on board too.

Considering I dont like water this was a great experience husband loved it for his bday. Skipper was a funny guy so thanku for our experience

Amazing trip and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see the lake and the carvings from a different view. Loved it and would do it again anytime. Great tour guide made the trip very comfortable

We loved our boat trip. Peter and crew were very welcoming and the commentary was really informative. Loved the views along the way and the carving was very special. Enjoyed the refreshments and got some great photos.

You can enjoy a lot the experience with the boat and the beautiful view! Take a time for to do this trip! Tks guys!

Wen I’m get stressed, this is where I go , it’s the most relaxing enjoyable day, crew are lovely. Just the best

This is the best relaxing and enjoyable day out for myself and my family. Info, great staff, great passengers company, great scenery and a swim to refresh yourself after

Professional and friendly! Highly recommended. Plus sooooooo much fun!!! I'd do it again in a heart beat

Loved the whole experience. Very fun and exciting. Best part is that you get to experience the boat ride as well, while watching the others parasail as well...its like two attractions in one!!

Would say this is a absolute must do when in Lake Taupo. The guide was awesome. The sail to the rock was smooth an enjoyable. And a swim at the end was a bonus

Sailing on the Fearless was an excellent experience. The whole tour took about 2.5 hours and we both motored and sailed (due to prevailing wind). Captain Steve and the crew were excellent and informative guides.

A must do! Sarah was a great guide, full of fun and information. The boat is great, and much much better than the noisy engine options, even on an almost windless day. Carvings are very cool, and we had a beautiful swim. Not to be missed!

We have done it for the second time and it was great again!

Well worth it, great time and epic sunset. Sailing on lake Taupō was just perfect and the cave art was so interesting. It was awesome jumping of the boat into the water and the sunset was the highlight of the cruise

This cruiser blew my expectations out of the water. We had a 3 week holiday and did many things. This 3 hour cruise on Kindred Spirit is one of my best memories. ALL of us on the cruise jumped off near the carvings and took a loooong swim in the freezing but beautiful water. Our guide (forgot your name matey - sorry) was excellent and very entertaining.

Highly recommended

Really good fun and informative. It got a bit rough on the return journey but it was even more exciting. Would definitely recommend. We didn’t get time to jump in but the weather wasn’t on our side anyway.

We had a fantastic experience on the Barbary. The weather was great, the commentary from the skipper was great, we were offered a hot drink and a thermal poncho for if it got cold. The carvings were amazing and well worth the trip to see.

Big Sky Parasailing is a fantastic experience. Very friendly staff that made us feel at ease through the whole process.Our teenage children absolutely loved it! The photos from the gopro are awesome and something they'll look back on alot. Big thumbs up guys:)

Relaxing, professional, friendly. Great morning or afternoon out on the lake!

Spectacular scenery, lots of bird life and photo opportunities. Our skipper was very knowledgeable and ensured passengers had a good time. Crew were also great and refreshments were nice. 5 stars 🌟

Great time on the boat, swimming close to the maori rock. Very friendly staff, beautiful cruise.

A wonderful yacht journey with a fabulous host who kept us all relaxed and smiling. She was informative and the whole experience was an absolute dream! Highly recommended!

Had a great time the lake was so calm beautiful sights

A stunning experience. We enjoyed the spectacular scenery and found the commentary fascinating.

I think it's our 3rd time now but every time we come to Taupo we never missed cruising with Ernest Kamp wether it's summer or winter Very relaxing trip and great customer service. 100% highly recommended A must do when you are in Taupo. 5 Star!!!!! AAAAA+++++
