Explore Lake Taupo as you kayak to the Maori Rock Carvings at Mine Bay. You will start your half day tour from the sheltered waters of Acacia Bay before paddling out on the lake below native bush, past steep cliffs and mini inlets that can only harbor a kayak.

The experienced guide will explain the carving's cultural significance to the lake and surrounding areas while you float beneath them. On the way back stop for gourmet refreshments and can take the opportunity to swim or go for a rock jumping into the clear waters of the beautiful lake. If the breeze comes up, you can raft your kayaks together and sail back – bliss!

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Departure time is at 8:30am and 1:30pm in summer and 10:00am and 1:30pm in winter from our base in Acacia Bay. Allow approx 4 hours per trip (3 hours on the water).

The guides was very knowledgeable and the snacks and drinks were lovely - however it is an extremely hard tour. It was not the tour we thought it was going to be and in that respect we were disappointed. It should be explained how strenuous the tour is before booking.

Excellent experience. The guides are great, the kayaks are high quality, the scenery is excellent, and the distance / time is just enough to make it a slight workout without being too challenging.
