The Mokoia Encounter starts with either a sedate scenic cruise or an exhilarating jetboat ride to Mokoia Island in Lake Rotorua, setting for the legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai.
Passengers are treated to close-up encounters with wildlife and an educational experience with the island's descendants.
Back in Rotorua, a three-course
lunch features New Zealand produce garnished with herbs traditionally used by Maori. Prices start at $96 each.
