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.

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

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!

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.

Sailing on Barbary to the Maori Rock Carvings was fantastic, although we didn't have the nicest weather, Barbary was a very smooth sail through Lake Taupo to the Maori Rock Carvings. Our captain, Sarah, was a skilled yachtsman who told us about the area and the boat. The Maori Carvings were beautiful to see and a must do if you are in the area. Thank you!

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 ??

Really yummy food. I really needed a scoop of ice cream with the chocolate pate but the waitress forgot to ask I think as you could have added it on I found out afterwards.Very rich. My fish needed a little bit more sauce with the rice but it was all very delicious. My pork belly entree was my favourite. Kids menu is good too my son really enjoyed his steak
