We had a brilliant cruise on a very beautiful Wanaka day. The two crew members were very knowledgeable, friendly and really added to the enjoyment of the trip. They also gave us great recommendations of other things to do in Wanaka. The two hour trip really gives you chance to explore the lake. Can’t recommend enough.

Great day out on Lake Wanaka , different perspective to that on the shore. Stevensons Island gives an insight into the original vegetation of the area.
