This is fantastic. We would do it again at the drop of a hat. Our excellent guide James was knowledgeable and funny. What a great asset he is to the company. From pickup and drop off nothing can be faulted. Highly recommend this to everyone not just tourists. Thanks guys ?
Although we live locally, having parents over from the UK enabled us to 'act the tourist' and see more of what is in our own backyard! And what a treat it was! A great trip on Lake Wanaka on the Wanaka Water Taxi, landing on Stephenson's Arm, and then travelling by 4x4 vehicle onto farmland not able to be accessed otherwise. This is a must do trip - the views are amazing, looking over the lake and surrounding mountains; Charlie, our Guide was very informative and pleasant, the picnic was lovely, and the weather made it a stunning day. Whether you are visiting Wanaka, or if you live locally like us and don't have a boat, you have to do this trip - it's food for the soul!
Excellent Trip, stunning views, friendly guide ?
Wonderful trip out to Mou Waho with some fascinating information shared about the history of the area. Once on the island we were given two hours to explore by ourselves which was plenty of time to swim in the lake, take in the amazing views and enjoy the birdlife. A repeat visitor - this is a real treat!
Easy and very informative ride with the taxiboat to the island. Lots of information about the the origin and history of the former glaciers and lake Mou Waho. Thanks Brent! Fairly easy walk up the hill of the island. Beautiful view of the little lake on it.
Loved this trip. The hike up to the look out was a good workout before cooling off in the small lake on the island. Enjoyed our boat trip soaking in all the mountain views. Great adventure if having a day trip to Wanaka. We still had time afterwards to spend time in Wanaka before driving home.
Highly recommended! What a special place (a moderate climb up to a lake, on an island, in a lake (Wanaka) on an island South). Tim and MJ were great crew, very knowledgeable. And wonderful views!
If you are looking for a combination boat ride and moderate hike to spectacular vista, this is it. About 4 mile hike total and not significant elevation gain unlike some of the other hikes in the area. Bring walking sticks for coming down to make it easier but they are not necessary. We are a couple in our 60s and this was perfect for us.
