Relaxing cruise
Leider konnten wir an diesem Tag nicht mit dem alten Dampfer fahren, aber die Tour mit der modernen Yacht war nicht minder schön. Sich die Sonne ins Gesicht scheinen und den Wind um die Ohren wehen lassen bei netten Erklärungen zum See und seinen Sehenswürdigkeiten hatte etwas Entspannendes.

Grossartig!
Tolles Service, von der Buchung, über den Einstieg in das schöne Boot bis hin zur gemütlichen Fahrt mit reichlich interessanter Information, Keksen, heißem Tee/Kaffee und einer sehr netten und hilfreichen Bootsbegleitung. Genug Zeit und Gelegenheit, the Maori Roch Carvings zu fotografieren. Ich kann diese Tour nur wärmstens im Dampfschiffnachbau "Ernest Kemp" empfehlen!

Tolle Fahrt!
Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Die Fahrt war angenehm und informativ. Es wurde uns genug Zeit gelassen, um die Carvings vom Boot aus zu betrachten. Pünktlich, freundlich, angenehm und es gab noch Kaffee und Tee an Board :) Zu Empfehlen!
