Overview

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 around.
Relax on our charter yacht “Kindred Spirit” and enjoy the superior comfort with a large deck space and a cosy lounge under.
Listen to our experienced skippers and learn about the history of the lake. 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 (weather dependent).

An extra special trip. We had an amazing time and just loved the crew. Friendly, great sense of humor and able to make this such a memorable trip. I loved coming in at night to such a peaceful evening. The sailing experience was next to none. Wow!

Had a great afternoon on the Sailimg Boat. Pizza to share between 2 of us and drink of your choice. Beer, wine or soft drink. It was a perfect day and not to be missed if your at Lake Taupo.

This company really makes you feel right at home with refreshments and conversation for everyone. The day was cold so no swimming which we were just fine with because the views and interactions were well worth it. They let you ask questions and move about the boat as you go along. Very knowledgeable and respectful for the craving, land and water. The boat and crew is well suited for families as they were friendly and accommodating. We had a great time.

The staff are cool.Accomodating and with the sense of humour. We sailed smoothly to the Carving place and I love the splashing of water and make us wet. The sunset was beautiful though I can't concentrate of taking pictures because it was cold.But in total it was an amazing trip.
