Slightly dull weather on the way out but the crew kept everyone cheery and it magically cleared up at the carvings and swimming spot, very accommodating and chill afternoon on the lake - and a refreshing beverage tops it off!

Very relaxing and beautiful way to experience the lake and Maori carvings. Crew was great and their extra knowledge of the area extensive.

Luxury Sailing Taupo Adventures was the best choice to experience the lake Taupō and visit the rock with famous carving. The captain ensured a safe and smooth sailing, while the rest of the team was friendly, informative and very knowledgeable of everything related to this biggest lake in the Southern Hemisphere. The boat is beautiful, comfortable, and feels luxurious. Great view of the carvings from the bow that has comfy bean bags spread around. Complementary drinks. Highly recommended!

Staff very friendly, gave great information during the cruise out to the carvings. Boat was able to get up close to see carvings clearly. Loved every minute and all for a great price.

I was hoping that sails actually were used rather than motoring. The carvings are interesting. The crew didn’t interact with guests much. Nice outing but not outstanding.

After reading positive reviews we booked a cruise for a date in March, in January of this year. Today (March 4th) we were informed that there was a ‘double booking’ and that our booking time was unavailable. We were offered alternative times but none would work due to other commitments. Not impressed

We sailed on Kindred Spirit the sailboat. Perfect number of people so not overcrowded with plenty of room. Only 1 captain who maned the boat and served drinks and did commentary, seemed like a lot to ask of 1 person. Did feel safe though but felt bad for him. We were able to sail which was a blast, love the feeling of sailing over the water just so calming. The Maori rock carvings were interesting to see, our captain turned the so everyone had a good look so no neck straining. He was very accommodating for all. The sunset was stunning. At one point coming back we did have to drop sails and motor back, no biggie it was getting quite cool so worked out perfectly. Back in dock right on the dot at 9:00pm. A lovely evening sailing and sunset!

Great experience on the Lake. The sail boat was comfortable and the crew was friendly. Too many people on the boat for our liking though. Cost was a bit expensive but worth it Be careful getting on and off the boat.
