My partner and I booked this cruise and weren’t disappointed, we had the best day and enjoyed the trip and seeing all the dolphins and wildlife. The crew went the whole extra mile to make us feel welcome. Thanks again for having us
Spent a scenic hour cruising round the island and harbour.
Took my sister who is visiting from Australia on this Very relaxing cruise. Great hosts. Very affordable due to kids being free which was the best bonus for me due to having 4 little ones. They enjoyed every minute. Thank you and look forward to the next trip
Perfect end to our Easter holiday?? (2017)
Lovely morning outing. Very informative. Well stocked on drinks if needed. My kids an I loved it.
Excellent short cruise right at the base of the Mt Maunganui. There were not a lot of people with us, but they are missing the experience for sure! Very informative. Highly recommended
A lovely way to spend the afternoon! Out to Matakana Island, and a stop-off for a swim and play on the beach. Kewpie picked us up on the next round so we could complete the harbour cruise and get a different perspective on Pilot Bay. Thank you Kewpie Cruises :)
We took the grandkids on the kewpie on Saturday.. What an amazing day we had. Thank you so much. We will be booking again soon.
My family and I really enjoyed the Kewpie cruise! Great Views of the Mount and Harbour!
The crew of Kewpie couldn't be nicer. They are genuine good people and nothing was too much trouble. From helping us haul our buggy on board, to knowledgeably pointing out places of interest in the harbour. We got off at Matakana Island for an hour which was tranquil and relaxing (if I was doing it again I would take some insect repellent). We were a young family with a 3 and 6 month old. A great trip to do for all the family.
This was great really loved it relaxing fun and even get a pit stop to have lunch great day out thank you
Friendly skipper and crew. Really enjoyed the island hop on/off option.
We did the 11.00 cruise, got off at Matakana Island and were picked up by the 12.00 cruise. Kewpie was very punctual and we had a great time. I would recommend this to anyone . We are a pair of grandparents and had two grandkids 7 and 10 with us so they went free.
Wonderful hosts, informative pleasure cruise and a bar on board too. This was our second trip and we absolutely recommend it
Very friendly staff. Good commentary over the PA, and the stopover on Matakana Island is a must
We enjoyed our visit at the mount very busy spot but cannot be happier with the deal we got 😊😊 love the private spa and the other amenities that were included. Will definitely purchasing this one again. We did have to mention to the desk ladies as she had to double check but hey ho all good we got in. Also they do ask for Id for the key to be issued to you whilst in the spa which again wasn't to much of a biggy Private spa also came with a radio in the rooms which was a nice add to relaxing time Bit of a tight parking situation but hey we had a house bus and still manage to get in nicely 💜
A real gem, and reasonable price. Came here late in the afternoon. It is such a beautiful spot as the sun goes down and the evening sets in. The premises are very well kept, clean and tidy. Pools have different temps, and the little ones have their own toddler area. There are lots of life guards on duty ensuring everyone is kept safe. The changing area is clean and tidy, which makes getting dressed pleasant. The staff are all very helpful and friendly.
What a great way to relax after climbing the mountain, thanks Mount Hot Pools!
Kids had a great time , nice and warm just right for them
Great for all ages. Warm and hot pools. The view of Mount Maunganui and the tall buildings are lovely.
It was our first time to experience this but we felt right at home with our friendly guide. The trikes were easy to navigate and when we were tired paddling, we enjoyed just floating and dipping our feet in the ocean. My 5 children and I paired up and raced around even had fun reverse paddling 😊. We highly recommend this and we will definitely visit again. Thank you Aqua Trike for the amazing experience.
Thanks to Amy & the crew for giving us a lovely guided tour around the harbour, the hour trip went so fast & we wanted to stay and do it again. Very knowledgeable & informative commentary throughout the trip & they have a good selection of drinks and snacks available on board. On a sunny day I would recommend you take a picnic lunch & do the Matakana Island visit.
Such an amazing activity to do: affordable price, great service, super super friendly staff and beautiful views. Highly recommended A+++++++++
Great little hour to spend in the harbour. Great tour guides & tour information. Thank you
It was fantastic. We really enjoyed it very much. Will definitely do it again the next time we go to Taupo.
Absolutely loved it! Kids had the best time thank you!!
The service was excellent, we had a great laugh and most epic photos. Thank you
We enjoyed the experience the staff were very friendly and helpful, however we picked a particularly blustery day to do this and the wind kept blowing us back to the shore no one’s fault and it seems they had tried calling to ask if we still wanted to do it as it was so blustery, all in all we had fun but it was blooming hard work on that particular day xx
Customer service was amazing!! We all felt like V.I.P's. Instructions & safety briefing was very clear. We had so much fun & we were blessed enough to be able to have an extra 10 minutes free of charge!! We will be back everytime we visit Mount Maunganui! Once again thank you for making our day/trip exceptional.
We all had a great time.
Absolutely wonderful stuff, great communication and a great experience!!! Will definitely do again!!!
A birthday gift to one sister by her other two sisters. So three novice, mature (58 yrs - 63 yrs) ladies gave it a go and had a blast. Pleased to report we all were successful despite a few falls into the water. Highly recommended. Would definitely do again.
Luka YOU ARE AMAZING!! Thankyou so much our kids loved it 😊 She was so patient & let us know all the safety rules & boundaries. If you are looking for a whanau activity to do even for little ones go down & try it out you wont regret it. Everything is provided for you. Thanx again hun 5stars all roundx We will definitely be back again💯
