A great experience. Well organised, great commentary and service. The fresh baked muffins were superb. Shame we. Didn’t catch a fish though!

We had a great time. The boat ride was not too crowded and it was smooth sailing throughout. The noon viewing let us view it in peace. The skipper and her crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced. The whole experience took about 1½ hours with a bit of time spent fishing after the carvings. It seems to be cheaper to book directly. We had tea, coffee, and muffins available (the blueberry muffin was delicious). Unfortunately we weren't given any smoked trout as advertised.

.We enjoyed the 3.00 p.m. cruise to the Māori cliff carvings. An unexpected treat was fishing for trout on the way back to the dock. The captain provided interesting commentary of the lake and surrounding area. Hot drinks and freshly baked muffins were provided during the cruise.

The purpose of the trip was to show a visiting student from Brazil the drawings and give her a cruise on Lake Taupo. The lake and weather conditions were near perfect, the crew were very friendly and helpful; and a highlight for our guest was the opportunity to land a trout that was hooked while viewing the drawings. I would rate the whole experience as 5 out of 5.

Went on the 5pm trip and the lake was so calm it was a lovely sailing. Friendly and informative Crewe. Plenty of time at the carvings to take photos.

5 stars is for the quick efficient refund. Can't comment on the tour as it was run from a different birth and on a different boat from usual and I didn't get picked up. Part of the issue was the harbour sales agent in the ticketing building said the different boat definitely wasn't mine and that I should wait for the original boat at the original berth. Viator booking said non-refundable. 5 stars is due to the boat operator accepting pickup failure (waited 30 minutes to not get picked up) and communicating with Viator to override the non-refundable status.

We booked the day before to take the lake tour and then see Maori Rock Carvings. I thought it was super well organized. Also in the price include drinks, coffee and hot tea, cookies and muffins. I'm telling you, in other countries you'd pay for it. Thanks for the experience.

We had a wonderful time on the cruise. The boat was very comfortable and you could go outside whenever you wanted to. The commentary was very informative and we learned a lot about both the carving and the lake itself. They gave everyone ample time to get the photos that they wanted. It was a great trip and lovely to be out on the beautiful lake. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
