Pure Cruise - Soak & Sail Cruise

Sail into the morning sun aboard 53-foot luxury yacht Tiua (Maori for ride the wind)

Joining fellow travelers it's an energizing start to the day as we cruise across the fresh clear waters of Lake Rotoiti to enjoy a soak at the lake edge Manupuria hot pools.

Kick back in total relaxation and just take in the gorgeous surrounds or get involved in some action along the way. There's the opportunity to take the helm, hoist the sails and grind the winches or try your luck with some trout fishing. Keen to cool off and get wet? Then leap off and swim in the fresh clean water of Lake Rotoiti before relaxing in the natural mineral hot pools only accessible by boat.

Your knowledgeable skipper and crew will take time and point out the historic and culturally significant features of Lake Rotoiti and share a few of the local Maori legends.

Tiua has a broad spacious deck with beanbags and bow-nets so you can spread out and relax in style. The luxurious saloon and cockpit provide comfort and shelter to cruise, fish and soak whatever the weather.
