Highlights
Escape the hectic life and enjoy your sailing experience on our classical sailing yacht Fearless for timeless charm and authentic sailing.
Explore 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.
Powered by the wind, this eco-friendly experience lets you explore nature in its purest form - quiet, clean, and unforgettable.
And when the wind picks up and the yacht heels gracefully into the breeze, guests feel that exhilarating surge of adrenaline - a moment of pure connection as they face fearless, the raw power of the water.
Relax on the large deck space, 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 in under some blankets.
Take a dip and swim in the crystal-clear waters of the largest freshwater lake in Australasia (weather dependent)

Relaxing way to end the day at Taupo's iconic attraction on the sunset cruise, and overall highly recommended for those looking to chill! Plus the thick blankets provided are sufficient if it's literally chill. I think we started a bit late due to minor hiccups so we reached the carvings around the same time as the other boat Tiua, but we still had ample time to get pretty close to the carvings to take all the shots we wanted, from various angles. Dave the skipper shared interesting facts about the carvings and the area throughout, and on our way back the sunset was stunning. We had 1 regular sized pizza (the usual pizza chain type of flavours allocated randomly) to share between 2 pax, and choice of a drink each. Nobody in our group wanted to swim so we got back well within 3 hours which we were happy with, since it was dark by then. No regrets going for this!
