We did a private charter (7 couples) and kiwi bbq on board. Amazing boat, service and location. Absolutely beautiful lake (also stopped in at hot pools) and setting. The boat is so well set up with big bean bags on the front tramp and nice blankets if you need them (however we had great wheather). The service was some of... More

This trip is so well organised from the safety, the comfort, the enjoyment, the food and of course the weather! A trip we would all repeat. This was a Xmas function and Matt's young helper Laura even agreed to be a very 'lovely' Santa! More

Please don't miss this cruise! Captain Matt took us on a wonderful trip around Lake Rotoiti with a stop at the hot pools! The boat is fantastic and your host makes this the perfect boat trip. I wouldn't even bother booking any other boat in the area! More

While visiting the north island don't miss the Pure Cruise excursion. The day initially looked to be cool and damp but Matt and the staff were excellent at seeing to our comfort, from a blanket to wrap around while sitting on the front to home baked cookies. A stop at the thermal pools and the weather turning warmer only enhanced... More

This is my second cruise with Pure Cruise on Lake Rotoiti. I went with other owner operators of B&B Association of Rotorua to experience it for ourselves in order for us to recommend or not to recommend to our guests. I had a great visit the first time about 2 years ago and wanted to see if it is still... More

My partner and I visited Rotorua for his 30th birthday and wanted to do something special. This was absolutely perfect. Sam, our skipper, was a really great guy, full of enthusiasm and knowledge of the area and couldn't do enough to make sure we had everything we needed. We weren't blessed with a great day weather wise but still had... More

A very wet night, but this did not take away from our experience. 37 of us had a great time and were well looked after. Excellent food, and drink service. Fun time at the hot pools for those who chose to take a dip. Email communications back and forth were very efficient. More

We chartered the Tuia for our work Christmas party and it was an awesome day out. We felt like we got an idea of how the rich and famous live, and it's pretty good! The boat is beautiful, the weather was perfect, the fishing was fun, the food was excellent, and the setting is gorgeous. We all felt like it... More

As B&B hosts we feel a responsibility to our guests to have experienced trips and excursions before we recommend them and this was a truly awesome experience we feel more than happy to recommend and promote. It's the second time we've been out with Tina, Mat and the crew and it just seems to get better. The catamaran is immaculately... More
