It was raining on the day of the event. The operator did not cancel or offer to refund if we decide to pull out. The whole trip, we just sat inside the boat because it was raining outside and too cold to go out. It was a waste of money. The operator did not handle the situation properly and professionally.
The crew was very...

20+ people waited onboard while they waited 20 minutes for a couple who were late. They should have left on time as check in was 30 min before departure. The carvings were cool. I think they should scrap the 30 minutes for swimming as again, 20+ people waited for 30 minutes while 5 teens swam. It rained at one point and there weren't enough seats inside for everyone to sit down. The crew and boat were great and the carvings worth seeing but it felt like a lot of time was wasted. We had a long drive ahead so that probably affected my thoughts. Other's might enjoy just chilling on a boat if they have nothing else planned (and the weather is good).
Relaxing and beautiful

The crew were super. We had the new girl whom was clearly well practiced but anything she didn’t know, the company had an experienced guide to support her so we felt incredibly well looked after. Quality tour.
Exceptional afternoon on the Catamaran.

Fantastic couple of hours on this magnificent Catamaran with the lovely crew. It felt really intimate as we had 12 passengers on board of which 8 were from our family. A highly recommended tour when visiting Lake Taupo and really educational!

We took a trip to see the rock carvings on the catamaran Tiua. The two crew members Danny (I think) and Liam were excellent. The trip takes a little over two hours and highly recommended if you’re visiting Taupo.
Great experience
