What you can expect

Board a bespoke vessel designed and hand-built by the Pure Cruise team on the shore of Lake Rotoiti. This unique, one-of-a-kind vessel, “The Airstream Project,” offers a classic, intimate way to explore the lake’s hidden places.

Cruise geothermal bays and immerse yourself in hot sand beaches, glowworm caves, and historic Māori sites, all set against a backdrop of lush natural beauty.

Twist your feet into the hot sand stream and beach, take a dip in the lake’s clear waters, leap from overhanging trees into the clear fresh waters, or wade into the glowworm caves to see their gentle living glow even during the day. Or simply sit back, unwind, and enjoy the stunning backdrop.

In the remote northern bays, see and learn about the historic Māori food storage caves that are carved into the cliffs there, a special sight only visible from the water. Be stroking distance to the native mosses and ferns as your boat glides right into a cave lined with birds nests and vines.

Enjoy complimentary morning tea as the stunning landscape drifts past. This is the Rotorua Lakes as few ever experience them, up close, unhurried, and truly unforgettable.
