Once invited aboard and introduced to your skipper, you can sit back and enjoy a welcome flute of champagne while cruising around picturesque Lake Tarawera.

Your skipper will explain the early Maori and volcanic history of the area. You will hear how the dramatic 1886 eruption of Mt Tarawera destroyed the world renowned Pink and White Terraces and buried the Maori Village of Te Wairoa (known today as the Buried Village).

Lake Tarawera is renowned for its trophy sized Rainbow Trout (up to 7kgs or 15lbs). Relax on board your very own luxury vessel and experience the excitement of catching these prized fish, a number of methods are used including fly-fishing, harling, jigging and trolling.  Once landed the trout can be enjoyed sashimi style on board the vessel or taken back to your hotel for dinner, if you prefer you can release your prize back into the wild but not before taking a photo as proof of your expertise.

If you wish you may like to enjoy a thrilling ride on our three seater jet ski and visit Hot Water Beach for a relaxing swim in the natural thermal waters. While you have a lovely soak, depending on the time of your cruise your skipper will prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner for you to enjoy aboard the vessel accompanied by fine NZ wines, beers and beverages.
