As we silently cruise out to the carvings on crystal clear water you will be able to view the spectacular scenery from the comfort of your seat.
Our experienced skippers will inform you about the ecological, historical, spiritual and cultural significance of the area as you sail out to the 14-metre high Maori Rock Carvings in Mine Bay. These carvings are only accessible by water. Sail barbary will take you right up close for the perfect photo of Ngatororangi carved into the rock face.
On the trip home, you can jump into the deep blue freshwater lake for a swim or your captain will gladly show you the ropes and you can help hoist the sails or even take a turn at the wheel!

Top ??
Je pense que c’est l’activité la mieux organisée et pour laquelle nous avons été le plus surpris positivement. On a pu croisé les autres bateaux de croisière qui sont un peu moins chers mais celui ci vaut largement son prix ! Si vous avez un choix à faire n’hésitez plus en plus vous ne polluerez pas ! Si vous pouvez placez vous sur les poufs à l‘arrière vous ne serez pas déçus ?. Je recommande +++
