The cruise included the viewing of the Māori rock carvings, a demonstration on how they fish for trout, a sample of smoked trout (from a previous successful catch!!) and a freshly baked blueberry muffin. There was a good commentary, although not always that clear, pointing out various sights around the lake, as well as information about the lake itself and a lot about the origin of the Māori rock carvings. A lovely way to spend 90 minutes on the water on a beautiful sunny afternoon.”
