What an AMAZING experience! Excellent service, great price, and what a view. My families first time in Wanaka, and it did not disappoint. This activity is an absolute must. I can't wait to go back

I took my 4 year old here for an explore and picnic and we both enjoyed it. Tim was very friendly and gave us some interesting history of the island. A must do when visiting Wanaka! I look forward to checking out another island sometime!

Great time. Excellent guide

Lovely afternoon out, friendly operators, they were knowledgeable about the area and great with the children who were on the trip. A nice leisurely, scenic cruise for a couple of hours.

Very rushed quick boat ride and visit. There was only 5 of us on the boat so not sure what the huge hurry was? Stunning day interesting to hear about Ruby island but some more time would have been nice.

We both enjoyed the cruise

Great value for money! Loved it. We would travel with them again in one of the other cruises. Perhaps a longer one next time.

Tim and Bronnie provide an incredible experience on Lake Wanaka. We absolutely loved learning all about Ruby Island and enjoyed our little hike to the top. This is a fabulous experience that everyone should do, we highly recommend it. If we could have one wish, it would be to cruise around the Island in full. Thanks so much to Bronnie and Tim.

We really enjoyed the boat ride & the walk around Ruby Island

What an amazing scenic cruise to the island, we got bumped from Ruby island to Stevenson island, captain Tim and the wonderful Bronnie did an amazing job with information. Bronnie on deck with her knowledge of the area and being our guide on the island, was truly a blessing. Thanks to both of you.

I would highly recommended this cruise if you want to have a short and easy trip in Lake Wanaka other than just sightseeing at the lakefront.

Really cool experience! A must do if visiting Wanaka you will get all the best pictures. Thank you

This is a gorgeous combination of a lake cruise & a leisurely trek on a unique island, full of wildlife & interesting plants with views to match. The boat skipper was very knowledgeable about the area & shared that with the travellers. The climb to the top of the island may not be suitable for all people, but everybody on our trip succeeded, including me at 70 - you just need to take it at your own pace as plenty of time is allowed. The other item I would recommend (that I forgot to take) is to take a swimming costume with you (if you like swimming) as you are allowed to swim in the tiny lake at the top of the island. Someone did that when we were there & all I could do was look on, jealously!

Really enjoyed the quick trip over to Ruby Island...great short walk around the island, with entertaining commentary by Reon...Liked the story behind the name too.. Fab views up & down the lake and back to Wanaka.

Excellent tour. Good instructions where to meet. Comfortable boat. Great commentary. Saw many different birds including the Weka and Bellbird. It’s a bit of a steep ascent and descent and would recommend taking a hiking stick if travelling alone, luckily I had someone to hold onto. Could be slippery if recent rain. But thoroughly enjoyed it.

beautiful, mind blowing views and awesome little history lesson on the island with very friendly staff. Staying an extra 10mins at the end to sit with my family and just soak it all in would of been the icing on the cake. But I would 100 percent recommend to all. Cheers - we will be back

We had a fantastic trip to this beautiful little island. Thanks so much for all the interesting facts and talk and walk around the island. Amanda

What a great boat trip! The views are insane throughout. The catamaran is very comfy and the staff were really lovely too. I’m definitely recommending this to anyone visiting Wanaka. Loved the history of the island and they had the friendliest pewakawaka I’ve ever seen too.

We've been to Wanaka a number of times over the years and it was a treat to experience something new and see the lake from a different perspective. Highly recommend!

A must do in Wanaka! Friendly captain, fantastic views and an all around great experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. The boat was comfortable and uncrowded when we went at 9am - the lake tends to be calmer in the mornings. There was complimentary tea and coffee which was very welcome and Kyle and Pavla were friendly and informative. The walk to the top is definitely worth it and seeing the inquisitive Buff Weka was the icing on the cake. Lovely way to spend a morning.

When we arrived at Ruby Island, it was raining heavily. The skipper was quite patient and we waited out the rain so we could explore the Island. The skipper was very knowledgeable about Ruby Island. He took us on a short trek around and showed us a picture perfect spot! It's a nice way to cruise Lake Wanaka.

Beautiful cruise out to the island and really interesting hearing stories as we walked around it. Plus the views from the island are incredible!

Family of 5 superb trip up to a little island. My teenage daughter said it was the highlight of her trip so far and we have already been to Queenstown. The hike was steady but easy enough to take my younger son. Well worth going if you are at Wanaka. Highly recommend. Taryn

Met the water taxi driver at the wharf & climbed aboard for a leisurely & informative trip up the lake toward Mou Waho. The island walk was reasonably steep but so worth it … awesome views from the lookout at the top & an inquisitive Buff Weka encounter. Lots of bird activity which I love watching. Quicker boat ride back. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend 3hrs & would definitely do this again.
