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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

Kaimahi provided outmost whanaungatanga to our whānau and went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed. Highly recommended doing this experience again

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.

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

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.

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

The food was amazing and the staffs were very friendly.! We had french toast, eggs Benedict and seafood chowder. My son and mum loved the chowder, it was totally worth the money. French toast was a luxury with mascarpone and rhubarb. We will definitely visit again!!!

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.

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!

Loved this experience.. happened to see it on the last minute and booked, no hassles and the lady operating them was very friendly. You dont get wet as you paddle along the water so no need for togs but no shoes recommend as you do get wet when hoping on/off.

Great fun on the lake with pedal power. Gorgeous area. Would give it 5 stars but there were no sign posts to advertise so we got a little lost lol. Would absolutely do it again though!

Such a fun time with the family.We hired 3 boats. Great staff,Beautiful lake.Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend. The hosts were lovely and friendly. The bikes are easy to use and don't take much effort to work. We will be taking our toddler back. Also a cute doggy to sweeten the experience.

Peddle trike were so much fun, Max the staff member was friendly he chatted to all the children and to us Adults. It's a beautiful part of the lake, sheltered from the wind, small bays so take a picnic, plus a park is a small walk away - a nice spot to spend a few hours

Super fun and nice staff, thanks!

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!

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 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.

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.

Highly recommended

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

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!

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 ??

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.

Amazing Experience !!!

Awesome breath taking experience and the staff that jumped with me and interviewed me for the video made me feel comfortable and had a great attitude. 100% recommend to jump with these guys! They are GREAT!

Had an awesome time, friendly staffs and service is just outstanding…. will definitely be back soon to fly again with these guys…thanks team

Had a wonderful time out in the lake. Staff were very friendly, the young girl who served the drinks and nibbles deserves an extra star for attentive service with a smile 👍
