What a gorgeous trip. Doug and team were so helpful - we felt incredibly relaxed and loved the scenery, the stories and the snack at the flat rocks. Thank you

We had a beautiful day out on Lake Taupo. Our guide was great - super easy to chat with and very knowledgeable. Kayaking was at a nice pace - these guys know what they’re doing and we knew we were in good hands the whole time. We really enjoyed the day out.

Doug made this a very good trip. He entertained us the whole time with a whole range of stories from his many experiences in New Zealand. The trip was the perfect length and we had good weather, so it was not difficult at all. Kayaking is certainly the best way to see these rock carvings.
