Nice staff in the store, a bit too much laid-back guide, a pretty tour on Lake Taupo to the Maori Carvings, price was ok, kayaks in top condition.
Hi Florion, thank you so much for joining us on one of our Maori Carvings tours... and for being our first Rankers reviewer! We really appreciate it and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Kind regards, the Team at C&K Taupo.

Fantastic trip down the river, I was a little apprehensive due to not being in a kayak for over 20 years but Claire, our guide, made it such a relaxing and easy trip!
Laura was an absolute gem in helping me answer all the questions that I had beforehand! Thumbs up guys! I will be back in a couple months time to do the four hour trip!

I wanted to give my 7 year old daughter a kayak experience and we had a wonderful hour on the river, we both loved every minute.
Laura, our guide, greeted us with a winning smile at the shop and looked after us perfectly from beginning to end. I cannot recommend highly enough - a big thank you to C&K Taupo from me, and a huge thanks for the photos Laura took and emailed to me within a few days of our trip.
