  It was a adventure that's for sure! The lake was rough around Ngatoroirangi, yes we were told from the get go... my grand sons wanted to go out front, knowing full well we were going to get WET! And we did!! My youngest one being ADHD had an absolute blast getting saturated! The wind in his hair... water on his face, he loved it! As did I.. The crew were absolutely amazing! Always checking in... the information from the skipper was spot on. This was a trip for my little people, and they loved it!

  There was 10 adults in our group and they all seemed to really enjoy the experience. The slightly choppy water just made it more fun for all.

  What a fantastic trip. The crew were brilliant and looked after us so well. The lake was a little rough, we were warned before boarding and checked on regularly. The captain steered is away from the waves so well that we were very comfortable. We were a group from 11-73 and we all had a fantastic time. The kids (and granny) were able to drive the boat. We had a hot drink and biscuits at the start and there are other drinks and snacks you can buy on board. The carvings were mind blowing and the knowledge of the captain really added to the trip. Oh and the ducks being hand fed while motoring. A definite trip to book on Taupo.

• Good vessel with a great crew

  Good vessel grea crew. The Captain did warn us the weather wasn't ideal and give us the option for returning later in the evening when the wind was expected to calm down a bit. Although it wan't ideal the Captain and his crew made it as comfortable as possible

  What a fantastic tour. The information given was amazing and the boat was extremely comfortable and clean. It was rough but we were warned before getting on and the captain steered is so well to keep everyone comfortable. The carvings are a true wonder to see. The whole family, 11-73 had a day to remember. Thank you very much xx

  Me and my family were robbed, we had no idea this price was USD till booking. We decided to cancel and find something within budget, unfortunately we canceled within 24 hours and didn’t get a refund. We call and told them to undo our cancellation as we can’t even get our refund so we may as go. They would not let us undo our cancellation, so unhelpful. Imagine in New Zealand we’re are paying USD to go to Taupo!!!!!! I’m so unhappy 😔
