Excellent.

It was great experience. I highly Recommend

Great experience. Quiet and relaxing.

A must see place in NZ. Its beauty is natural and I appreciate how amazing it is.

Definitely an experience worth trying. Easy walking paths and plenty photo opportunities. Easy booking process and staff are also really friendly. Thank you!

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.

A nice walk around the park. I would recommend taking the walk up to the lookout great views

Kids loved it

This is an undiscovered secret, it is not as busy as other geothermal areas but has an amazing feel of being alive. There are masses of fumaroles which are very active. There is now a viewing platform next to shop. You still have to pay full price to go there but if you use bookme.co.NZ it is only $4. Shame there isn’t a coffee shop . It’s about a 45-60 mins walk, so go to loo at shop before you start

Very easy. Walked in and they knew who I was!! Walk is about 45-60 mins, very atmospheric and lots of steam . Easy walking paths . Platform at start looks over park can be reached by elderly and disabled.

Lovely place, definitely worth the visit. Lots of history and information signs around too

Highly Recommend! I’ve always seen amazing pictures of Craters of the Moon on Instagram for many years now. It was a matter of when I’d get to go on a weekend or day trip. We were coming from Auckland, planned a weekend trip to Taupo and Rotorua but didn’t exactly plan what we exactly we were going to do there. So, on the car ride to Taupo, I found these deals on Bookme and quickly booked us tickets and headed straight there. It was super affordable and It was such an amazing and stunning scenery. It was very nice to just take a walk and admire the view at our own time and pace. It was definitely a really good experience!

Unreal, marvelous, good job guys 🎉👏🌟

Nice geothermal walk. Manage to get special price from bookme. Worth the price.

Easy hīkoi. Beautiful and interesting. Great for the whole whanau.

Great ride with great views. more 360 spins than other jet boat rides

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

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

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

What a fabulous way to spend time on such a beautiful Lake. The captain, Kerry, was friendly and overflowing with local knowledge. My husband and I could not recommend this highly enough!!

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

Beautiful day to be out on the lake. Great hosts, friendly staff and a great commentary, enjoyed the hot drink and muffin. It was nice having an option to purchase something from the bar also. Thanks for a lovely afternoon, perfect activity for our girls weekend away.

We did the sunset cruise and what an amazing experience it was! David is an experienced skipper and wonderful host. The Moari rock carvings were beautiful and the sunset just gorgeous. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience!

Excellent service. The ebikes were easy to learn. Lachie spent some time making sure we could control the ebike in a safe manner. It was awsome fun using the ebikes as me and the wife were 1st time users. Lachie dropped the ebikes to our motel and then waited for us to finish and came to pick them up from our motel. We plan to holiday again in Taupo so we can hire the ebikes. Thankyou Lachie for a great experience. Cheers mate see you soon

Was such a great trip around the lake definitely recommend the evening trip so you can see the sunset ❤️? and the staff are lovely

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 ??

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 team; great boat. Just great experience

Great time with Bruce and Jess. Looked after us very well. Great Experience for everyone. Also relaxing ?. Thank you

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

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

I had a wonderful experience on the Ernest Kemp cruise to see the Māori rock carvings on Lake Taupō. The weather was perfectly clear on the day, and the lake was incredibly crystal clear, with many swans around the harbor when we boarded. The check-in process was smooth and well organized, and both the captain and crew were very friendly and welcoming. During the journey, they provided informative and engaging commentary about the lake, nearby volcanoes, and the history behind the carvings. On a sunny day, I highly recommend sitting at the front of the boat, where the views are open and very comfortable. When we reached the carvings, the captain stopped for a while to make sure everyone had enough time to fully appreciate them—it’s truly impressive to see both the power of nature and the cultural significance of the artwork. The cruise was very relaxing. Guests were offered snacks, tea, and coffee, and there was even a chance to swim in the lake, which was beautifully clear. The boat itself was clean, and I chose a classic-style vessel, which added to the charm. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of nature and culture, and I highly recommend it.

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

Would give more stars, if I could. The crew was fantastic from the start. We did a sunset cruise and this also included pizza and drink, which was awesome. Very chilled vibes, beautiful sunset over lake Taupo and really spectacular Maori carvings, followed by optional swimming in the lake. I had the best time! Thank you again Kakariki- I keep recommending you to everyone.

So much fun! We were so close to the carvings and the water was amazing. We even got to jump in! The pizza was tasty and the drinks were super affordable. The guides were very funny and knowledgeable about the lake and carvings.

Had an absolute blast on this cruise! The guys were so awesome and friendly and also really knowledgeable. Can't recommend this cruise enough ?
