Amazing Experience

I booked this experience solo and had an amazing experience. James picked me up from Wanaka town and gave me a private shuttle to Lake Hawea. Along the way, he gave clear instructions for the route and pointed out some details about the local area. He was very kind and I had a great time! The trail is pretty moderately easy and beautiful views the whole way!
