Fabulous and highly recommended - This was the perfect way to celebrate my son's 30th birthday with a luxury cruise on Tiua. We couldn't have gotten a better view sitting comfortably on the bow with the young ones seated on bean bags positioned on the trampoline. To the stern there was also a sheltered indoor area and cockpit. To change into our togs, we were able to use the private cabins with toilets to change into our bathers. Jumping off the yacht was such a thrill for all but there was also the option of stairs to access the water for a dip. Drinks are available over the bar, and we were able to bring our nibbles platter. The crew went over and above, and I thank them for making this a memorable occasion with their assistance, knowledge on the Māori carvings and surroundings. Great we got to have a sail too.

Great evening! - I recently took a sunset cruise with Taupo Sailing Adventures to the stunning Maori rock carvings, and it was an incredible experience! The trip out was a bit choppy, but the crew handled it with professionalism and ensured everyone was comfortable. Their friendly and knowledgeable approach really stood out.
On the way back, we were treated to a breathtaking sunset over Lake Taupo—truly a sight to behold. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent Experience - From start to finish we had a great experience. The team made us feel comfortable and had a really good knowledge of the area according to the description of the tour. Tea and biscuits was a nice touch for a cold windy day. Thanks guys.

Magical moment on Lake Taupo - Magical moment on Lake Taupo.
Not only is the place superb but sailing with a beautiful and comfortable catamaran (made in La Rochelle) is a must.
The boat is spacious and comfortable and offers all amenities (interior and outdoor space to choose from) not to mention blankets to protect from wind and cold. A bar also offers hot drinks (and cupcakes).
We left a little earlier than planned, so we arrived first on the Maori sculptures site, which is quite an advantage.
The stop swimming was much appreciated even if the water was a little cool.
And a big thank you to Jess and Dave for their kindness.

Highly recommended activity to see Lake Taupo in no time - A good way to see Maori rock engravings. The staff very attentive and fun, in a comfortable space and with good background music. We were able to swim in the lake and enjoy a complimentary drink. No doubt to repeat.
