Mistake

The staff was so rigid that they were not at all ready to make changes we were 20 minutes late because of the sudden roadwork , we requested if we could given next day slot , they said it’s fully booked but it wasn’t, the staff was just not interested in listening to me as it was not booked via their website directly .

From 1 Hour Lake Wanaka Cruise With Cheeseboard & Beverage

So sorry we could not give you free tickets for another day. This is our most popular cruise and sells out most Summer days. We suggest leaving a little time in your travel plans for the inevitable delays which occur on the roads.
