Great experience
Had a great time. The crew were lovely. Having a hot complementary cuppa was welcome on the chilly morning. The information given by the crew was very informative and the carvings were impressive. Enjoyed sitting outside on the bean bag with a blanket.

Thankyou Robyn for you'r feedback. I will ensure to let the crew know they helped create a lovely experience for you. It's certainly nice to warm up with a hot cuppa on those chilly days, And you definitely can't beat those views from the front of the boat on the bean bags.

Lovely tour!
Very nice tour with a very friendly team! Winter time so was very cold but the team has everything ready to warm us up! Summer must be amazing!
From Tiua - Sail in luxury to the Māori Rock Carvings, Lake Taupo
Fleece blankets and a hot drink certainly help take the chill off those winter days but we love going out at this time of year as the lake is normally a bit quetier and the snow capped mountains certainly enhance the scenery. Thank you for your feedback.
