The ladies were awesome! Coffee & muffins and watching a trout being caught were bonuses. The weather wasn’t great but still a great experience

Rock Carvings Cruise - Chris Jolly
Friendly, Informative, and professional Staff. The trip on a lovely sunny calm day was most enjoyable and the carvings with history is well worth the trip. As a bonus we learnt some of the history of lake Taupo and how it was formed. The muffin was excellent and the fish and crackers most enjoyable. Highly recommended!
From Scenic Māori Rock Carving Cruise - Chris Jolly Outdoors
We are glad you got to enjoy the scenic cruise on that beautiful sunny day! We appreciate your feedback!

Sculptures
Très belle balade dans un cadre sublime ! L'observation des sculptures et la démonstration de pêche ont très intéressantes. L'accueil sur le bateau est irréprochable. Enfin, le personnel à bord est fantastique (intéressant, souriant et sympathique)
