We could tell you about the hidden waterfalls, secluded bays and unforgettable scenery…

…but we’d rather let our guests do the talking.

From “Every moment was a WOW” to “You have to do it!” and “One of those trips you MUST do,” these are the moments that remind us why we love sharing this special part of Lake Taupō every day.

To everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review – thank you. Your kind words mean the world to our small family business.

If you’re looking to discover a side of Lake Taupō that most visitors never see, we’d love to welcome you aboard.

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Over 100 five-star reviews and counting.

The only thing missing… is you.

One minute you’re stepping aboard a small boat.

The next you’re cruising past towering cliffs, discovering hidden waterfalls, pulling into beaches you can only reach by water, and wondering why this wasn’t on your itinerary sooner.

No crowds. No rush. Just a very small group, incredible scenery, a fantastic skipper and a side of Lake Taupō that most people never get to see.

Sometimes the best holiday memories are the ones you never planned.

Tuesday mind teaser for you 🫶🏼

Winter is one of our favourite times on the lake.

Our clear side curtains keep you warm and sheltered while still giving you uninterrupted views of the stunning Western Bays. On crisp bluebird days, the water sparkles and the cliffs seem even more dramatic. And when the rain arrives? That’s when the waterfalls really come to life.

As a small, family-owned business, we love sharing this special corner of Lake Taupō with visitors year-round. Fewer crowds, incredible scenery, and experiences you simply won’t find on the main tourist trail.

Winter adventures are waiting.
