From Ernest Kemp - Lake Taupo and Maori Rock Carvings Cruise
Thank you, Deane! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the cruise and appreciated the history and scenery. Your feedback means a lot to us!

A most tranquil interlude
We thought we'd take it down a notch or two and cruise the lake before skiing the next day. Nice surprise. An interesting trip with the carvings as the highlight but traveling close to the shore meant you took in a lot of the uniqueness of this stunning lake. Well catered for with wine, beer and nibbles. And Captain Haddock was informative while not intrusive. Will do it again
From Ernest Kemp - Lake Taupo and Maori Rock Carvings Cruise
Thank you, Ian! We love that the cruise gave you that perfect breather before hitting the slopes. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the carvings and the cruise itself. We’ll pass on your review to the skipper he’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. Appreciate you cruising with us and sharing your thoughts! We hope to see you again :)

Awesome morning
We loved this cruise out on Lake Taupo. The crew were amazing. The crewman that walked around talking to everyone on board was a delight. The skipper/ compere was so knowledgeable and had some great anecdotes to share. Our 2 boys LOVED being invited up to have a turn driving. Definitely recommend.
From Ernest Kemp - Lake Taupo and Maori Rock Carvings Cruise
What an awesome review, thank you! We're so glad the whole family had a great time out on the lake. The crew will be stoked to hear your kind words, especially knowing the boys had a blast up front. It means a lot to us when guests feel welcomed, relaxed, and entertained, that’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver every day. Thanks again for joining us and for sharing the good vibes!

Muffin Lies!
They promised a hot muffin and a coffee so we skipped breakfast. There was a kettle and some packets of instant headache coffee and a dry Arnotts cookie made of sorrow.

NEW Maori rock carvings
Perfect day for a pleasant trip on the Lake. Carvings a bit disappointing when we'd thought they were ancient, but were only a few years old! Sparse commentary as we went. Otherwise good.
From Ernest Kemp - Lake Taupo and Maori Rock Carvings Cruise
Hi Verity, thank you for your feedback and for joining us on our cruise. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful day on the lake. While the carvings are relatively recent, they represent an important and meaningful tribute to Māori culture and heritage, making them just as fascinating. We appreciate your comments about the commentary and will work to improve it with more detailed and engaging narration. We hope you have a lovely day!
