Amazing adventure - Amazing experience with awesome crew! We were lucky enough to have the entire catamaran to ourselves making our honeymoon sail extra special! David and Jess were lovely hosts with second-to-none knowledge about the local area. We would recommend this activity for anyone!

Great day on Lake Taupo! - We had the best time on this adventure! Our family of 5 was lucky enough to have the boat to ourselves. We bundled up and enjoyed tea/hot cocoa and biscuits while the crew told us about the history of Lake Taupo and the rock carving. The crew was knowledgeable, skilled, and very friendly. Definitely recommend!

Best boat experience in Taupō - This is an incredible experience! We were only 6 people on board, and we felt very privileged being there. There were hot drinks and biscuits in the 9.30am trip which were appreciated with the cold weather. The explanations, the experience everything was excellent. Dany and David were the perfect hosts for this experience! We strongly recommend them!

Comfort in a Catamaran - We booked to sail on Kindred Spirit, but were upgraded to Tiua, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The catamaran was much more roomy and probably more stable than the yacht. There was also a very spacious & comfortable internal area on the Tiua (including toilets), where you could see fairly well but stay warmer (& drier if the weather was damp). The pizza and drink were a great addition, and we were grateful to be able to get gluten free pizza (Pizza Hut) by requesting them at the time of booking. We enjoyed sitting in beanbags on the front of the catamaran. Dave was a friendly and entertaining host and gave us interesting information as we travelled, without it sounding like a pre-written tour speech.

Cool experience. Worth it! - The cruise included Pizza Hut snd drinks... a bonus... and we took a nice ride over to the carvings... which is really just modern graffiti that's been approved by residents. The carvings are actually pretty cool.

Under sail - Amazing experience run by a very professional outfit. Despite there being quite a few people on board who not sailors, I never felt unsafe. With drinks and food laid on we had a lovely cruise in slightly choppy waters. It was great fun when we went under sail. Fully recommend
