5.00Wow! What a beautiful evening. Adam and Meg were amazing from the moment we walked onto the pier. We were given the very interesting history of the boat of which Adam really wants to continue its legacy. What a fascinating past it has had. We had flowing drinks and canapés as we gently crossed the lake as the sails were hoisted. The absolute treat was Adam playing the bagpipes out on the water. We felt like we were treated as friends along with a couple we met on board. Would recommend this to anyone. Definately on your to do list.
Don’t miss this!

5.00My husband and I had a great time! The scenery was outstanding, Captain Paul and First Mate Jackie could not have done a better job in showing us the beauty of Lake Teanu. Jackiie’s knowledge of the flours and fauna helped make our hike all that more enjoyable. Cheers to an excellent trip! Thank you both!!
