As we silently cruise out to the carvings on crystal clear water you will be able to view the spectacular scenery from the comfort of your seat.
Our experienced skippers will inform you about the ecological, historical, spiritual and cultural significance of the area as you sail out to the 14-metre high Maori Rock Carvings in Mine Bay. These carvings are only accessible by water. Sail barbary will take you right up close for the perfect photo of Ngatororangi carved into the rock face.

파도와의 전쟁 그리고 평화
타우포에 부는 바람으로 파도가 있었지만 요트를 타고 타우포를 경험하는것은 아주 좋았습니다. 마우리 암각화도 인상깊었어요. 돌아오는 길은 파도가 다소 잦아들었지만 추웠어요. 가을에 가시는 분은 옷 단단히 입고 오시길. 강추합니다.

Hi there Sei-Woong, thank you for your review! We are pleased you enjoyed your slightly wavy ride, and even better to hear it was calm on you way back! Yes, it does start to cool down and we are getting ready for winter! Lucky we have lots of warm ponchos and blankets on board! Thanks again, The Sail Barbary Team

재미
재미있었지만 기상 관계로 배가 많이 기울었었네요. 하지만 세일링은 그냥 유람선이랑은 다른 특별한 경험이었습니다

좋았어요~
날씨의 영향을 많이 받는 액티비티인데 비가 오고 많이 흐린 날이라서 아쉬웠어요ㅠㅠ 그래도 선장님도 너무 좋고 비가 오니 따뜻한 우비도 제공해주시고 그래도 마오리 벽화를 볼 때는 구름이 열리고 해가 비춰서 예쁜 물색을 볼 수 있었어요~ 다음엔 날씨 좋을때 다시 한번 해보려고요~

좋았어요
그냥 타우포 호수를 유람하고자 할때 유용한것 같아요. 음료수도 주시고, 친절하시고 좋은 시간이었습니다.

아주 좋았습니다 세일링 보트만의 특별함이 있었어요 다만 바람때문애 조금 추울수 있으니 긴팔을 준비해야 할것 같아요 스탭분들도 친절하고 재밌었습니다
