Cocktail Cruises

Raise a Glass on Lake Taupō
Take drinks with friends somewhere a little different with a private cocktail cruise aboard Loloma or 38 South. Cruise Lake Taupō with your favourite people, enjoy drinks onboard and take in the scenery as you settle into an afternoon or evening on the water.
From relaxed catch-ups and pre-dinner drinks to birthdays, celebrations and special occasions, a cocktail cruise turns a few drinks together into a memorable Lake Taupō experience.
Drinks, Good Company and Lake Taupō
Leave the usual bar behind and make the lake your backdrop. A cocktail cruise gives you time to relax, socialise and enjoy being out on the water without needing a packed itinerary.
Keep it simple with drinks and scenic cruising, add food or catering, or make your cocktail cruise the beginning of a bigger day or evening in Taupō.
With two very different vessels to choose from, we can match the experience to your group. Gather a larger crowd aboard Loloma or choose 38 South for a smaller, more intimate premium cruise.
