Entspannte Fahrt über den Lake Wãnaka

Last Cruise of 2025

We were lucky enough to stumble across this deal. What a great opportunity to be on their final journey of the year on the afternoon of 31 December. The walk to the top was enjoyable and informative (thanks Cam). Fortunately there were only 17 of us on the vessel, so plenty of room to move around. Thanks too, to Captain Toby. An enjoyable trip that we will definitely recommend to others.
