5.0I highly recommend this cruise in Lake Taupo. The crew and the captain of the Ernest Kemp were amazing. One of my mates felt cold and the crew gave him a blanket to warm up. The sailing was smooth and they gave us amazing viewpoints for us to take photos and enjoy the view. An awesome experience sailing on Lake Taupo.

4.0This tour was highly recommended through Trip Advisor. Although I was amazed by the talent, time and effort and the reason for this carving, I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more carvings to see, as the tour is titled Maori Rock Carvings. I booked tour with Ernest Kemp Scenic Cruises. Highly recommend them. The tour was very informative. The staff were very friendly and happy to interact with their guests.
Lovely trip on the water
