Great trip

This was a great trip. After a short boat ride out, we had an informative guided tour around the island and the whole family had a great time. Took my 1year old and 3 year old and both loved it. Highly recommend.

Great afternoon. Enjoyed the Cruise very much.

Great way to see more of Lake Wanaka , parts which we had not seen before. We were upgraded at the last minute to the Stephenson's Island Cruise which we enjoyed very much. Instead of 1 hour we got to go out for 2 hours. Beautiful day and bigger boat. Enjoyed getting off the boat and walking around Stephenson's Island. The Guide who gave us a bit of info about the island was very informative and friendly. All and all great afternoon.

Our little excursion to Ruby Island

We were looking for a short excursion in Wanaka and decided to go to Ruby Island across the lake in Wanaka. It was really lovely, so peaceful and interesting. Our skipper/guide made our trip. The story behind Ruby Island is fascinating and we think it has the makings for a great movie!! Ruby and the folk of Wanaka really had some great fun on the Island…..
