Lake Wanaka Islands Cruise

When booking this activity, you can choose between 3 different ways to enjoy Lake Wanaka to the fullest. All of them start in Roys Bay at the indicated time:

Cruise to Ruby Island (1 hour)

If you choose this option, we'll set sail on a catamaran at 1 pm on this spectacular South Island lake of New Zealand. After approximately 15 minutes of sailing, we'll arrive at Ruby Island. Here, you can disembark to take a pleasant walk around the island and take photos from some of its many viewpoints.

Cruise to Stevensons Island (2 hours)

If you want to visit this more remote island, we recommend choosing the boat trip to Stevensons Island, which departs from Wanaka at 3 pm. We’ll sail for approximately 45 minutes until we reach the island. You can choose to take a half-hour guided tour of the island or explore on your own.

Cruise to Mou Waho Island (3.5 hours)

In this option, we'll meet in Wanaka at 9 am and sail to Mou Waho Island, a nature reserve free of predators. Upon arrival, we'll hike for 2 hours to see various natural sites, including a lake formed by a natural glacier at its summit. You'll also learn about local flora and fauna, geology, and historical context.
