Reviews: Lake Taupo: 1.5-Hour Māori Rock Carvings Cruise
Guest User2026-01-25
Family loved this adventure! Staff was professional and the boat was well kept. Kids were given a scavenger hunt to search the boat to keep their wiggles occupied during transit. Guides were informative and entertaining.★

The Kindred catamaran was wonderful. We sat in bean bags over the water, very tranquil. The crew were informative and accommodating. The scenery was incredible and the carvings were worth seeing. I would highly recommend this company and cruise to anyone★
