I was the only person on the trip so had a 1:1 guided tour which was great. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and made me feel very safe. The kayaking was lovely, as was the weather. The rock carvings were amazing!

Our trip to the Māori Carbings was fantastic! Eloise was a fabulous guide - very knowledgeable and friendly and made our experience incredibly enjoyable. We are not experienced kayakers but Eloise made sure we knew what to do and we felt very comfortable the whole time. Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Taupo :)

Sadly they cancel because of the weather (maybe you can put on this description before the people want to book this tour) and we didn’t have more days to reschedule. So if you are traveling there, check the weather first. Also, they offer us another options but it wasn’t the same, we just go to Taupo to see the Carvings. Plus, I’m still awaiting my refund. Cannot say anything good or bad of the company.
