Step aboard the Sail Barbary for Taupo's most Iconic Cruise to the renowned Maori Rock Carvings. Seeing Taupo's beautiful bays on the Sail Barbary gives you the perfect mix of relaxation, fun and adventure all at once.
On the boat, Coffee, tea and hot chocolate was included which was great because it can get quite cold when it is windy. I would recommend to put on warm clothes, even if it is a sunny day! Not only that, you can get warm with some beer as they do include it. You can bring your own booze as well!
The female skipper was so communicative and positive with Ryan and me. She was very informative as she went out of her way to ensure I knew and understood the history behind the Maori culture through the carvings we saw. Not only that, a female who takes us there is so sweet, communicative, and positive. I like it. It’s free drinks including beer or wine or coffee. Byob too. It’s real fun.
The boat is so pretty and all the guest are sitting on the top deck and there's warm ponchos provide if there is rain or wind.The boat sailed a very smooth and pleasing cruise. Psst. if you don't want to get wet, be sure to stay away from the front of the boat. =P
None of this would have been possible without Great Lake Taupo, NZ! They hosted and arranged me all of the trips below on a complimentary basis. That goes the same for Sail Barbary on Lake Taupo for their wonderful support. Not to mention Base Backpackers for their complimentary accommodations for our entire stay in Lake Taupo.

Sail Barbary Cruise to the Maori Rock Carvings
Discover the impressive 14-metre high Mine Bay Maori Rock Carvings - only accessible by boat!
Set sail for an adventure like no other at the Mine Bay Maori Rock Carvings on Great Lake Taupo. These Maori Carvings are most likely the largest type of their type in the world, at over 14-metres high – you've really got to see them, to believe them!
What makes the carvings even cooler is that they are only accessible by boat... so that's where Sail Barbary comes in. With over 34 years of experience, Sail Barbary knows Taupo Moana (Lake Taupo) like the back of their hand.
On board their lovingly restored classic, white sailing yacht you'll feel truly at home. Listen as your experienced guide explains the cultural significance behind the carvings and offers you some incredible picture post card moments. Get your cameras at the ready and don't forget to #maorirockcarvings! Feel free to BYO (Bring Your Own) food and drink in true kiwi fashion – is there anything better than popping a cold one as you soak up the sun?
Also, Sail Barbary are all about getting hands on, so if you're after a bit of sailing action we'd love you to help hoist the sails and have a go at steering the wheel. Plus, if the wind dies down Sail Barbary's eco-friendly electric engine will kick in and have you sailing silently across the water. They also provide warm ponchos to keep you cosy - what pros.
This really is an unforgettable sailing trip to the Mine Bay Maori Rock Carvings!

The Huka Falls River Cruise - A Spectacular Boat Ride | Taupo | New Zealand
In October 2016, I spent a few days in the Central North Island region of New Zealand.
On day 3, I went exploring around Taupo, Kinloch, Reid's Farm Recreation Reserve, the Huka Falls, Aratiatia Dam and the Kaimanawa Forest.
The river cruise to the Huka Falls was an excellent way to spend an afternoon. The boat takes you quite close to the falls, and although they're not high you can feel the tremendous force of the water as it comes crashing down and the resulting spray wafts past you.
I'd definitely recommend the boat ride. It's reasonably priced and suitable for all ages. Check their website here:
This is part four of a seven part travel vlog series featuring the Central North Island region.
Part 1 - Wellington to Taupo. Rangitikei River & Rangipo Desert.
Part 2 - Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Taupo, Kinloch, Reid's Farm Reserve & Aratiatia Dam
Part 3 - The Huka Falls, Taupo
Part 4 - The Huka Falls River Cruise
Part 5 - The Kaimanawa Wall
Part 6 - Returning home via Rotorua. Lake Rotorua, Rotorua Canopy Tours, Okere Falls, Kerosene Creek and Mount Ruapehu
Part 7 - Ziplining at the Rotorua Canopy Tours
As an avid travel fan I've done many trips overseas trips to explore the world, learn about history & culture, experience adventure and try exotic food. However recently, I've decided to put more effort into exploring my own beautiful country - New Zealand. People come from all over the world to see NZ and rave about how amazing it is. It is time for me to see the beauty that sits right on my doorstep.
