Lake Taupo Sunset & Maori Rock Carvings Cruise - 2.5 Hours

Step aboard an eco-friendly yacht for a relaxed evening and sail across the waters of Lake Taupo. With music playing softly in the background and a complimentary glass of wine, beer, cider, or soda in hand, you’ll cruise past bays and snow-capped peaks as the sky turns orange and gold. Your two-hour and 30-minute journey is designed for pure enjoyment, with plenty of time to sit back and soak up the atmosphere.

As the sun sets, your captain will guide the yacht into Mine Bay where the famous 14-metre Maori Rock Carvings await. These artworks are only accessible by water, and you’ll drift close enough for incredible photo opportunities. On warm summer evenings, you can even take a dip in the lake before sailing back to port. With informative commentary and an eco-friendly vessel powered by an electric engine, this sunset cruise is a memorable way to experience New Zealand’s largest lake.
