A lake cruise company based at The Marina, 366 State Highway 33 in Mourea, near Rotorua, on Lake Rotoiti. The company runs three purpose-built boats, one called The Airstream Project, on shared daily departures and private charters.
Cruises go to secluded bays, geothermal beaches, glow worm caves and lake-edge hot springs, including the Manupirua Hot Pools. Most cruises last three to four hours, and the skipper and host share stories of the lake's natural beauty, Māori history and landmarks. The website gives prices from $1,400 for three hours and from $1,900 for three hours, both including GST, as at 2026. One guest calls it a favourite activity, especially the tree jump and the hot pools. The company says it has run from the lake shore for over 17 years. Our pick on Lake Rotoiti for a hot pool soak on the water.
