About
Take the journey into the Queenstown back country with our breath-taking kayak or SUP experience to the stunning Moke Lake. Located just 20 minutes from Queenstown this quiet and peaceful setting allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of town and immerse yourself in a beautiful rural New Zealand environment surrounded by mountains. One of our friendly guides will pick you up from Queenstown and drive you in comfort to Moke Lake. Along the way you’ll get a knowledgeable (perhaps even funny) commentary about the local region and feel free to ask any questions. Once at Moke Lake we’ll run through a few safety features and let you paddle off at your own pace! When you return we’ll have a few kiwi refreshments waiting for you.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Me and my friends had a great time paddling out at Lake Moke. Amazing spot and an unforgettable experience. Everything we needed was supplied and Ben and the crew definitely made it a top moment of our trip!

Great experience from initial pickup with Mckenzie. Great scenery on the drive out and perfect conditions on the lake. Both Mckenzie & Ben were great hosts for the day, providing a great experience. Would definately recommend.

We paddle boarded on Lake Moke and it was wonderful. The lake is really beautiful in the morning and the trip was really well organised from beginning to end. A really enjoyable morning!

$40 for me and the 10 year old to hire a kayak for 45 minutes. A little pricey, but it is Queenstown!
You have a large area to kayak in and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
It was a lovely warm, clear day and this was a very pleasant way to have a bit of an explore.

Finding this place was easy, just pop over the Queenstown Beach.
Plenty of kayaks and other water sport equipment on hand.
45 minutes for around 20 minutes, kayaking was fun.
We were given life jackets, and told safety stuff.
Operators were really friendly and helpful.

Put the 8 & 9yr old on the aqua bike and off they went. They had the time of their lives while I was able to get stunning pics of them laughing, the mountains, the Earnslaw a kayaker in the distance and the shark ride (thing?) all at once. Just remarkable!
