Amazing view, lovely hot drinks, friendly guide. Of course Maori Carving was beautiful and perfect but staff members also created this experience unforgettable.

Loved it
I had never been sailing, but my partner had, it was such a great experience, It wasn't what I paid for, but got an up grade of boat. I will recommend this to all my work colleagues.

Absolutely beautiful
We thoroughly enjoyed our winter cruise. Yes it was fresh out there on the water but so worth every breathtaking moment. Far fewer people on board but it made for a very personal experience. Danny and Liam were fabulous hosts. The view was amazing ( snow on the mountain) early morning meant the lake was still and clear. Danny’s knowledge of everything from burial sites, the significance of the carvings, the volume and wildlife in and around the lake added to the experience. The carvings were an added bonus but for me the real treasure was the luxurious boating experience. The music on board just boosted the carefree wonder of the trip. Definitely a do again!
