The entire cruise was an enjoyable experience right from the start to the finish. Gill the captain, and Lauren the host both talked knowledgeably and naturally about the area we were visiting. The Maori rock carving 'Ngatoroirangi' is unique and well worth viewing. Lauren provided delicious blueberry muffins, baked on board, Took us fishing (we caught a rainbow trout) and provided smoked trout and crackers as we headed back to base! And all this experience in just 2 hours - such a great experience and such good value. Thanks Gill and Lauren.…

We spent at least half an hour admiring it before we paddled back.…

Not only were the rock carvings stunning, but the care of the crew was to be highly recommended.…
