Ernest Kemp

Board the Ernest Kemp replica steamboat for a two-hour cruise to view the Māori rock carvings, Hot Water Beach, the lakefront and Acacia Bay. There's lively commentary, and a swim stop if conditions allow. From October to April, a 5pm cocktail cruise (adult/child $46/25) includes pizza, wine and beer.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome on board.
