Had a really great trip out to see the Maori carvings. Beautifully smooth cruise on a sunny late afternoon. There was a choice of lower and upper decks with us preferring the lower deck, sitting inside but able to venture outside to take photos. We used this fully to take photos of the beautiful surroundings and the carvings. Drinks were available making for a pleasant trip. Wonderful value.

Im glad i changed my booking time as there where only 10 of us nice small group and you could see more, as we where about to leave the cave the group we where meant to be with was way to big about 20 plus and they would have had a hard time seeing and hearing everything.
