Well worth making this trip, a very good day out. The lake was spectacular and we got very close to the carvings. The Barbary and her skipper made it a very informative cruise, well worth the money.
Good value. -

Our sailor Sarah was super entertaining and highly knowledgable! The carvings were made in the 1970s, but that doesn't make them any less impressive. It's a beautiful ride to the carvings and Sarah made everything super fun.

Apesar de o dia estar um pouco chuvoso e nublado, a experiência foi ótima! A pessoa que estava guiando o barco proporcionou farta explicação sobre a formação do Lago Taupo, bem como deu informações sobre a cidade, de forma bastante simpática, alegre e acolhedora. A escultura feita na pedra é imensa e muito bonita! Recomendo!
