Chris Jolly is a very pleasant hour and a half on Lake Taupo, with the obvious highlight being the Maori Rock Carvings at Mine Bay (about 30 minutes into the trip). Despite overcast skies, views were good and on uncrowded boat, enjoyed tea and fresh...More
We decided to go for a private charter on the lake with Chris Jolly and the crew really made our day. The highlight included feeding ducks while they were in flight. Trout fishing was fun even though it was not prime season for fishing. The...More
We decided to treat ourselves with a boat trip on the lake. It was a big boat (capacity 80 pax). We chose the Brunch Cruise at 10.30am, which cost NZ$58 pp for two hours. The boat was not very full so we managed to get...More

Thank-you for taking the time for this review. Your comments are noted and appreciated.
We started the day in glorious rain, which made the biking all the more interesting. I am not a gun biker, more the Nana type, and had to walk up some of the steeper bits and when I got puffed but the downhill parts were...More
Thank-you for your review, I would have to agree, this trail is a 'must do' at any time of the year. So pleased you enjoyed the whole experience and we'll look forward to seeing you again!
We were looking forward to a relaxing trip on Lake Taupo. Unfortunately there was a HUGE tour group booked in with us. This is by no means a fault of the tour company but I suggest in future book them in separately as it takes...More
