Come on board and experience the beauty of a scenic sailing tour to the Māori Rock Carvings, one of the most extraordinary contemporary carvings in the world. Only view-able from the water, the likeness of Ngātoroirangi towers 14-meters above Lake Taupō, surrounded by over 40 smaller carvings.
Escape from hectic life for a while and enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake’s remarkable coastline as you discover the bays and hidden bush. Listen to our experienced skippers and learn about Taupo's history and culture. Give the crew a hand hoisting the sails and take a turn on the wheel or just snuggle under some blankets and enjoy the wide selection of drinks.
Kindred Spirit sails under full sails as much as possible or gently meanders, when it is truly calm, by a quite inboard diesel engine.
Take a dip and swim in the crystal-clear waters of the largest freshwater lake in Australasia. We offer the longest swim stop out of any company on the lake (weather dependent)!
There is a bathroom and changing room facilities on board.

Maori Rock Carving Cruise
Nette Crew, die neben englisch auch deutsch sprachen. Hatte den Abendturn gebucht und bei idealen Wetterbedingungen blieb kein Wunsch offen. Viele Erklärungen zur Gegend und Geschichte, zum Schluss auch noch das Kreuz des Südens am klaren Nachthimmel gezeigt. Sehr empfehlenswert!!

Wir kommen wieder!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit auf dem Wasser und viel über die Maori-Schnitzereien erfahren. Da wir morgens gesegelt sind, gab es etwas zu Trinken und Kekse. Mir gefällt, dass man auf einem ökologischen Wege die Felsenkunst besuchen kann und würde jedem empfehlen mitzufahren. Die Gruppengröße ist sehr angenehm und der Guide Dave prima. Sehr gut organisiert und professionell.
