Outstanding way to spend an hour! Gorgeous views and the skipper (Toby) was wonderfully cheerful & knowledgeable. A delightful time indeed!

Trip was excellent from start to finish. Rion was a first-rate guide full of interesting facts and observations whilst being laid back enough to let you take it all in yourself.

After a memorable (if bumpy!) boat ride, we had a memorable guided tour, occasionally stopping for looks at the wildlife (including insects). Views were amazing, as was the wind! Not for those who get seasick.

I originally booked for Stevensons but they canceled it last hour as they didn’t have minimum required numbers to run the cruise. They moved me to the happy hour cruise. I took the option because it was my last day in Wanaka. This was a good cruise but I am sad that I couldn’t do what I preferred.

Wonderful really cruisey, pardon the pun. Plenty of places on the boat to chill out and enjoy the scenery. Skipper and crew super friendly.

The Kiwi version of a Russian Doll: at the top of the hill on Mou Waho Island you can see an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island. Stunning views and nature awaits you in that picturesque place. The track to the arthresian lake is a bit steep, so make sure to wear good shoes. I would also advice that children should be no younger than about 8 (or else have been up mountains before). However, the reward is well worth the effort of the climb.

The day consisted of a leisurely one hour cruise about halfway up the lake, on a very nice boat, to Mou Waho island. There are a couple of hours on the island, then a return cruise back to the Wanaka marina. Lake Wanaka is stunningly beautiful, surrounded by towering mountains on all sides, and this is the best way to see it. The captain and guide, Tim, gave us just enough info. on the lake and its history, without overdoing it. On the island, which is full of wekas, we climbed to the top, learning a lot about the local fauna along the way. Just be aware the climb to the top of the island takes you up 150 metres in altitude, so it's not for everyone.

We booked on Book me ($41) , excellent value which includes alcoholic beverage, cheese and crackers. It was a stunning night so being out on the water was a wonderful way to experience the views. Very good staff. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time. Lake Wanaka is absolutely beautiful. The Captain and staff were so very nice. Great boat ride overall!

Beautiful boat ride to the island. Incredible views once you reach the top including a small lake. Walk is easy enough for most people.

This was a 5* experience from start to finish. In a comfortable boat you are taken over to mou waho island and we were given a guided walk of the island. Although the lookout and pools are sign posted. You get interesting information about the wildlife and also taken down some off the beaten track paths.

Took the trip to Mou Waho Island in Lake Wanaka. We opted for the guided tour. Reon was excellent. We had three groups of varying ages (we were the oldest) and he managed to keep the group moving along yet be very conscious of our much slower pace. Fortunately the trail is well marked and doable. At the top of the 30 minute (45 for us) trail you are rewarded with the glacial pool sitting near the top of the island. Another 20 minute hike up to the lookout point opened up to stunning stunning views. Spectacular. I do wish I had brought my walking stick with me….makes going down hill easier.

A short and sweet overview of lake wanaka and ruby island.Our skipper/guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we would recommend to anyone visiting with only a few hours in wanaka.

Wonderful little trip that we all enjoyed (aged 4 to 66). We asked the kids 4,9 and11) when we got home what they enjoyed today and all said the boat trip! Excellent scenery and tour guide imparted a wealth of knowledge that we all appreciated. Would recommend 👍

When the cruise boat turned up ….well it was actually a small boat. Not what was advertised on the flyer. Had to climb in via a small ladder onto and into the front of the boat and a step down three stepped little ladder into the boat. Definitely not a recommended way of safely getting aboard. Couldn’t even go outside as he said it would destabilise the boat ? Kinda went near the Wanaka tree …..too far for a photo. Ruby island was more than a walk. Should have realised when the tour guide/skipper of the boat took his hiking pole. The ascent was steep and long … take a drink it will be needed. Very disappointing as this cost us $98.
