Scenic flight + Hands on PILOT experience. The pilot and the team are so friendly. Pilot lets you even have a go with the take off and landing as well. Amazing views from the top.
Such a fun well formed MTB park - suitable for all levels. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Staff were friendly and organised. We got straight into it and had 2 too long runs and about 3/4 from Jack’s Spot - 3 hours riding - so much fun!! And spectacular views! Down to Velo for lunch / chicken nachos 👌 Top day. Thank you.
Had an epic day out at Bike Glendhu, couldn't believe the value for money with the BookMe Trail pass. The views were exceptional, the tracks were super fun and our whole group had the best day out together with tracks catering to all levels. Finished the day off with a drink down at the base, and the service was fantastic. Cannot wait to get back on the mountain the next time we're in Wanaka.
Splashed out on a 3hr can-am session and couldn’t have had a better day. Rachel our driver was awesome, the trails were running mint and we had three runs from the top. Couldn’t have asked for anything more …
Bike park is more of a mix XC and downhill. Good stuffs too at the cafe!
This is fantastic. We would do it again at the drop of a hat. Our excellent guide James was knowledgeable and funny. What a great asset he is to the company. From pickup and drop off nothing can be faulted. Highly recommend this to everyone not just tourists. Thanks guys ?
Great time. Excellent guide
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!
This is definitely a must-do in Wanaka! Pedro, our guide is so professional and friendly at the same time! Shared quite abit of climbing tips with us! He took great care of our group of 3! You never want to miss this because the scenery is so worth it! And there are chances for you to take YOLO photos! Every step I climbed makes me want to climb more! Love it!
Beautiful cruise on a beautiful boat amazing views of the lake
It's was great value for money! ?
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
We had a great time on this tour. It is a very enjoyable trip across the lake and with all the autumn colors out it was a fantastic relaxing voyage. The walk to the island peak was enjoyable and our guide told us bits of info as we did the walk. The captain also gave us a great time telling us all about Wanaka and the local scene. We would recommend this trip to everyone as it is so different to the usual " tourist" activities
Had so much fun, managed to paddle all the way to the Wanaka tree and enjoy amazing views of the mountains from the water. Highly recommend.
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.
UN BON MOMENT EN FAMILLE !!!
Richard and team are very experience in what they do. My 7 year old and my wife loved the beautiful scenery and flying over this beautiful place. It’s a must do activity if you are in Wanaka or Queenstown.
Had a really fun with SUP. Booked their early morning deal from 9am. Less people, less boat wave, less audience, absolutely enjoyed the moment:)) Thank you, all the friendly staff!!
Thank you for running this great session. Neither of us had kayaked before, so we're a bit nervous about managing the distance etc without a guide and within the time limit. We needn't have worried as the guy (sorry can't remember his name) explained the map and basic paddling methods. We had an amazing morning paddling around Lake Wanaka, taking in the fantastic views We got out to stop on one of the beaches for a break, but found it a bit tough getting in and out of the water etc so after that, carried straight on to the end. We managed to complete the route in just over 2.5 hrs. In future, I'd take a nice little picnic and rest up a bit more and chill. A highlight of our trip!
Enjoyed a pleasant ride out into Lake Wanaka and the Clutha River. Sarah our boat driver was very personable and informative and drove the boat well - nice job..!!
Gorgeous boat and very very friendly, welcoming hosts. A simple trip out to the island viewing the coast and scenery. Lovely way to spend an afternoon.
We both enjoyed the cruise
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.
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!
Great value for money! Loved it. We would travel with them again in one of the other cruises. Perhaps a longer one next time.
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
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.
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.
Really cool experience! A must do if visiting Wanaka you will get all the best pictures. Thank you
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 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.
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!
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.
