What you can expect

Experience a magical evening on Lake Taupo with the Sunset Heaven sailing cruise aboard the Kindred Spirit. This 2.5 hour Taupo cruise departs in the golden hours of the day, offering a relaxed and scenic journey to visit the iconic Maori Rock Carvings. As part of this guided tour, your knowledgeable skipper will share stories of the lake’s cultural and natural history while you take in the beauty of one of New Zealand’s most unique artworks. 

Whether you're keen to lend a hand hoisting the sails or prefer to relax under a cosy blanket, this sunset cruise is the perfect way to end a day of exploring Taupo. Enjoy a complimentary drink on board as the sun dips below the horizon, casting warm light across the lake's vast waters. Weather permitting, you’ll even have the chance to take a refreshing swim in Lake Taupo, the largest freshwater lake in Australasia.
