Very good experience and staff are so friendly. Will be back again.......

Loved the flexibility of the skipper. We had a small, friendly bunch to sail with. That made it easy to move about the boat. The pizza aboard was a lovely touch. Our skipper was highly knowledgeable over the area, nz and so many other things. The swabs and bean bags are a great idea. Fortunate to have a spectacular weather. Shame about no wind. Gladly recommend to others

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip aboard Barbary. Our captain, Jamie, was very entertaining and informative. We had beautiful weather, although the wind was lacking so we motored more than sailed. The kids loved a chance to steer the ship.

It was very amazing my boys enjoyed it loved the maori cravings and the yummy as pizza and drinks and the captain was absolutely awesome thanks heaps for an amazing experience something me and the boys will never forget. Thanks heaps I highly recommend

Great skipper and so informative. Staff were all excellent and so much fun

Had an amazing sailing trip with Sail Fearless! My 4 boys absolutely enjoyed it with the highlight nor only being the beautiful carvings, but being able to jump off the boat and swim in the beautiful crystal clear waters of Taupõ Moana! Thanks crew, definitely recommending to friends and whanau.

Loved our experience and my whole family had a wonderful time on the lake. The carvings were easy to see and it was up to our expectations! Great afternoon out and highly recommend this boat.

We brought our tickets online only 20 minutes before the last trip for the day (5:00 pm trip) and was by far the highlight of our long weekend! Our guide was awesome, friendly, hospitable and very knowledgeable about the history of Lake Taupo and the Maori rock carvings. The views were breathtaking... We will defiantly be back with friends soon!! Thanks for an amazing experience team!

Amazing trip and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see the lake and the carvings from a different view. Loved it and would do it again anytime. Great tour guide made the trip very comfortable

You can enjoy a lot the experience with the boat and the beautiful view! Take a time for to do this trip! Tks guys!

Professional and friendly! Highly recommended. Plus sooooooo much fun!!! I'd do it again in a heart beat

Loved the whole experience. Very fun and exciting. Best part is that you get to experience the boat ride as well, while watching the others parasail as well...its like two attractions in one!!

Would say this is a absolute must do when in Lake Taupo. The guide was awesome. The sail to the rock was smooth an enjoyable. And a swim at the end was a bonus

Would 100% recommend this experience to everyone! The boat was well presented and in immaculate condition. The crew were all super friendly, very knowledgeable and just absolutely fantastic 5 starts for the crew! The views on the journey out were stunning and the rock carving itself was spectacular! Free hot drinks on board as well as alcoholic beverages you can buy, even got a freshly baked warm muffin for the journey back to the harbor!

Really enjoyed our sail, great value for money. Very relaxing and interesting too Loved being powered by wind or electric - very peaceful and no fumes! We didn’t go on sunset cruise in the end but went the next morning.

Even though the water was a bit rough, the experience was great! Big shout out to the crew, Craig and the Skipper. Got to meet people from different parts of the world which was lovely. Stopped for a swim in this beautiful cozy little spot. So glad we booked ourselves on this 2.5 hour trip. Was definitely worth the money. Memories to take home for sure ??

Big Sky Parasailing is a fantastic experience. Very friendly staff that made us feel at ease through the whole process.Our teenage children absolutely loved it! The photos from the gopro are awesome and something they'll look back on alot. Big thumbs up guys:)

Considering I dont like water this was a great experience husband loved it for his bday. Skipper was a funny guy so thanku for our experience

The trip was memorable with the whole family on board and of course with the amazing staff on board too.

Sailing on Barbary to the Maori Rock Carvings was fantastic, although we didn't have the nicest weather, Barbary was a very smooth sail through Lake Taupo to the Maori Rock Carvings. Our captain, Sarah, was a skilled yachtsman who told us about the area and the boat. The Maori Carvings were beautiful to see and a must do if you are in the area. Thank you!

It's simply amazing!!! Will definitely do it again.

Pleased my daughter n I did it, was a awesome experience great views n the staff were so lovely.

Very good experience, we did the “ tour” on a moondaymorning. Beautiful weather, nice staff and a great experience. Worth very penny and a “ a top must do” when you visit Taupo.

We did the sunset cruise and what an amazing experience it was! David is an experienced skipper and wonderful host. The Moari rock carvings were beautiful and the sunset just gorgeous. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience!

Beautiful day to be out on the lake. Great hosts, friendly staff and a great commentary, enjoyed the hot drink and muffin. It was nice having an option to purchase something from the bar also. Thanks for a lovely afternoon, perfect activity for our girls weekend away.

Great time with Bruce and Jess. Looked after us very well. Great Experience for everyone. Also relaxing ?. Thank you

Great team; great boat. Just great experience

It was an amazing time for me and wife and my two boys.The pilot was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Was such a great trip around the lake definitely recommend the evening trip so you can see the sunset ❤️? and the staff are lovely

Super crew, very informative and friendly, a lovely trip!

Great time on a relaxing sailboat. Got to sail the boat myself and a thrilling experience when the wind picks up and the boat starts to lean. Thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our mid winter sail boat cruise on the Barbary. Our host was exceptionally welcoming and had a great sense of humour. My whanau and I were especially happy crusing on the eco-friendly sail boat, it was peaceful, clean and a beautiful experience had by all. Ka mau te wehi!

It was a memorable day with an excellent boat and an even better skipper! The skipper was very informative and humorous. We also celebrated my 40th on the boat with skipper raising a (soft drink) toast, complimentary drink from the skipper. Other passengers joined in as well. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks guys!

Great experience and a very friendly tour guide gave us an very informative tour for the Maori carving. You got to enjoy the sailing experience on an eco friendly Sal boat used to own by an Australian celebrity. Suitang from Taiwan also got her Suitangtang clothing line photo shoot on this sail boat while she's in New Zealand!! Most important thing is the boat don't smell like diesel! Highly recommended!!

Would highly recommend this to all...our whole family really enjoyed this cruise. The captain Chris was a great host with many yarns to tell. Both our children jumped in for a dip in lake Taupo. Make sure you sunscreen up and bring a hat as it is very hot in the sun and the only escape from it is in the galley. There were a lot of wee bugs landing on us that come from the bus nearby but thankfully they don't bite. So glad we did this while on our holiday it was a relaxing, fun experience.

Enjoyed ourselves lying on the board. Captain Jamie so funny and worked a magic of humour all the time. Would certainly recommend it.

Amazing experience, loved it!! Thanks again to the team.

Enjoyed the cruise, good gear to keep everyone warm, informative and friendly skipper. Pity the weather was dull and the wind changeable but that is Taupo, New Zealand.

Thumbs up from us!! We set sail from the harbour on a beautiful big sail boat. The guide has witty banter and is knowledgeable about his area. We sailed for an hour and a quarter, the time "sailed" by. A very chill vibe on-board. The rock is kinda cool, but for me was a "bonus" sighting because I enjoyed the ride there so much, on a big sailboat on a big lake to see a big (carved) rock. The water was gorgeous, crystal blue and clean, well done Taupō. We got a hot chocolate and a chocolate fish, when we got to the rock, how perfect!! The sail back was great, the boat driver (captain?? *Please excuse my lack of boaty terminology, I'm a land loving kinda gal)) had a sailing playlist we (the passengers) all contributed to, so that was kinda personalised and fun for me! Our sailing had a handful of people and we were pretty much the only vehicle on the lake so it felt quite exclusive, I loved it. The experience of going on a sail boat was new for my family, we all enjoyed it. Good value for money, and words from our 7 year old .. "Totally worth it".

Absolutely loved this trip - only six of us plus the captain so heaps of space to lounge and enjoy the view. The yacht is lovely and so quiet being electric. The Maori carvings were fascinating and I had no idea about anything other than the main rock face. It was warm enough for a dip which we all enjoyed. Best of all - Caitlin O’Reilly was doing her double swim crossing of the lake and the captain steered us over to cheer her on on both the outbound and inbound legs of the journey which was awesome!

Great relaxing trip. Knowledgable and amusing skipper.

The sailing was superb. Our skipper was really knowledgeable. Great experience for us!

The day was perfect, no so cold, no so hot, and when we returned the wind stopped, so we could enjoy the beginning a beautiful sunset in a quiet lake! Such an peaceful evening! The captain was very kind and fun! He let us jump and swim in the lake!
