My own little tour

Had my own private tour as I was the only one who booked it for that day. Lisa was an excellent tour guide. Showed me what to do as I’ve never been in a kayak before. Weather was cloudy sky but clear and the water was still to and from the carving. We got up right to the rock and got some great photos ( on her phone which she sent an email later on) the stop off for refreshments was nice. Chatted along the way learning about the rock carving among other NZ cultures. Enjoyed my time from start to finish (shoulders felt it the next day) I know summer is good with the weather, but honestly winter is just as good as it was less quiet plus you could have a tour on your own.
Awesome and knowledgeable...

I was the only person on the trip so had a 1:1 guided tour which was great. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and made me feel very safe. The kayaking was lovely, as was the weather. The rock carvings were amazing!
Would recommend!

Our trip to the Māori Carbings was fantastic! Eloise was a fabulous guide - very knowledgeable and friendly and made our experience incredibly enjoyable. We are not experienced kayakers but Eloise made sure we knew what to do and we felt very comfortable the whole time. Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Taupo :)

Sadly they cancel because of the weather (maybe you can put on this description before the people want to book this tour) and we didn’t have more days to reschedule. So if you are traveling there, check the weather first. Also, they offer us another options but it wasn’t the same, we just go to Taupo to see the Carvings. Plus, I’m still awaiting my refund. Cannot say anything good or bad of the company.
Great experience and memories

The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful, Lisa even brought us to the bank to re-adjust our pedals and the other guide pulled us for a bit!!!

A bit disappointing, wasn't able to see the Maori carvings, due to very choppy conditions on the lake but enjoyed the river canoeing. Staff was wonderful.
Great time!
