Excellent experience

We have done several taupo boat tours, and this was definitely the best. The boat is really comfortable, and the skipper great fun. We were lucky with the weather, but it really was the perfect way to start a winters day. Little touched like the warm blankets and bean bags added to make it a really excellent experience for all 3 generations of our family who were on the trip

A must do!

Sailing to the Ngātoroirangi Māori Rock Carvings is easily the most soul-soothing way to experience Lake Taupō. Cutting the engines and gliding into Mine Bay under wind power alone creates a quiet, respectful atmosphere that matches the spiritual gravity of the 14-meter-high artwork. Seeing the intricate details of the carvings from the deck of a sailboat—paired with the crew’s storytelling about the tohunga (priest) they depict—offers a cultural depth you won't find on a standard tour. It’s the perfect blend of New Zealand’s natural beauty and its living history, topped off with a refreshing dip in the deep, sapphire water.
