Quick Links
Discover more of Wānaka with daily lake cruises and guided island walks. Visit nature on the remarkable conservation islands of Lake Wānaka.

Wānaka Cruises’ guides will take you to the top of one of New Zealand’s most remarkable bird sanctuaries with a natural glacial lake on top. Drink in the bird song as you scan the panoramic views of the Southern Alps. The Mou Waho Island cruise and guided nature walk is a ‘must-do’ for everyone that visits the region.

The Stevenson’s Island cruise every afternoon is two hours and takes you through panoramic mountain scenery to a secluded island beach. The guided walk is just fifteen minutes on an easy grade for more outstanding views and a photo opportunity. Cruise back with afternoon tea and enjoy the company of your fellow travelers and the local crew.

Do not forget the Happy Hour Cruise every evening for a sociable pre-dinner cruise with wines/beers and cheese boards included.

Of course, if you are visiting in a group you can ask about a private charter and create your own adventure! Wānaka Cruises offer packages for parties, BBQ lunches or dinners, hens and stags, birthdays, conferences, reunions, tour groups and locals.
