Experience Authentic Sailing on Lake Taupō
Sail Barbary offers a sailing experience unlike any other on the lake. As Lake Taupō's only electric powered sail cruise, you'll enjoy peaceful, low-impact cruising without the noise of a traditional engine. Glide across the water, take in uninterrupted views of the surrounding mountains and relax as our local crew shares stories about the lake's history, wildlife and Māori culture. If you'd like to get involved, you're welcome to take the helm, help hoist the sails, or simply sit back, unwind and enjoy the cruise at your own pace. It's a quieter, more sustainable way to experience one of New Zealand's most beautiful destinations.
Māori Rock Carvings Cruise Gallery
The spectacular Māori Rock Carvings at Mine Bay are one of Lake Taupō's most iconic attractions and can only be fully appreciated from the water. Our gallery showcases the incredible scale of these 14-metre-high carvings, along with the crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs and unforgettable scenery you'll experience on a Sail Barbary sailing cruise. Whether you're visiting Taupō for the first time or returning for another adventure, a Māori Rock Carvings cruise is one of the region's must-do experiences.
