This was a relaxing fun time, the cruise part was enjoyable with stunning views and Cam (our guide) was effortless in switching between local information and shooting the breeze
Relaxing and amazing scenery!

A great way to spend an afternoon on the beautiful Lake Wanaka. Tim and Cam were lovely and very informative about the local environment. Thank you for a memorable afternoon, and the beverages on the way back were also very enjoyable!
Well worth it!

What a treat this was! Really glad we did this trip - well worth it. A smooth sailing over that took about 45 mins (and it’s stunning) to Stevensons Island. Had about half an hour to walk to the top, take some pics and learn a bit about the area. The cup of tea and biscuits on the way home was a lovely touch.
Holiday Fun!

Nice afternoon activity with great conversation, local information and company with only 6 passengers! Beautiful views around the Lake and a short trek on the island to a good vantage point for good photos. Pathway was an easy walk with a slightly steep bit to end at the top. Bron and Tim the Captain were great hosts. A welcome tea or coffee and biscuits on our return to the boat.
Beautiful scenery on a relaxing boat!

A great trip out in the beautiful lake Wanaka which only improves when you get into it by boat. Small group so plenty of room on the boat. The little trek was fun with a stunning viewing point. The guide was friendly & most informative

it was a wonderful boat ride very relaxing and the walk was nice up to the top. There was no instruction on the natural flora but that was OK. Everything was very enjoyable.
A lovely excursion if you’re looking for things to do around Wanaka

Lovely relaxing boat trip in spectacular surroundings. The boat was very comfortable and the crew were friendly and informative. The island walk was very pretty… a bit quick but well worth seeing all the same.
