  • 4Adventures on Lake Wanaka

    Very nice and relaxing way to see Lake Wanaka and the area around it from a different perspective. The walk onto the small island and view from point was a nice addition.

  • 5We had a lovely afternoon despite the weather. Tim and Emily were engaging and informative… an enjoyable trip.

  • 4Trip to Stephenson Island

    Nice boat trip to Stephenson Island. Didn't get "afternoon tea" got tea and a biscuit. Title was misleading. Trip to the viewpoint on the island was an easy walk uphill. Nice view, not spectacular.

  • 1Last minute cancellation of activity very disrespectful to their customers.

    On the day of the activity, the operator cancelled our service leaving us with no time to plan for alternative activities on that day. The excuse was lack of other bookings for that activity. We felt disrespected and were just cast off.

  • 5Great tour and first rate guide + captain.

    Great cruise and visit to Stevenson island. The captain, Jamie was excellent as he chatted and gave us lots of details and background. I would recommend this tour.

About Wānaka

Wānaka is a lakeside town in New Zealand's Southern Alps, set below snowy peaks, a gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park and the ski fields.

Wānaka sits at the southern end of Lake Wānaka in the Otago region of the South Island, with mountains rising on every side. A path follows the lakefront past the lone willow that stands in the water, which has become a symbol of the town. Roys Peak, with its zigzag track, and Mount Iron give views over the lake and the valley. The town has cafés, galleries and a nearby wine region.
