What an amazing experience, Dave and Jess you guys are awesome. Me and my wife and our 8-year-old absolutely enjoyed and this trip made our day. Great value, comfy bean bags and blankets. We were so lucky to get the TIUA boat on that day and experience sailing on it, absolute blast. We can't stop talking about this trip and thank you for letting our little one drive the boat. Learned a lot about the area and the rock carvings. Thank you again Dave, Jess & little Sam for the memorable experience! We will definitely come back and recommend it to many people. Cheers!921EmilyM921

Brilliant sailing afternoon out on Lake Taupo with Nathan. A relaxing time out on the lake sipping on wine and eating pizza. Excellent views (and photo opportunities) of the Ngātoroirangi Mine Bay Māori Rock Carvings. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing. We could not recommend this company highly enough. The Tiua is a stunning vessel and the staff were just amazing. We were a family of 11 and they could not have taken better care of us. They did not rush us at all and were very knowledgeable about the local history. They let the kids have a drive and kept our drinks topped up and music at the ready. They grabbed us blankets without us asking and all the little things that added up to great service. The guys were so friendly and laid back and great with the kids. Honestly I just couldn't rate them highly enough.350marinat
