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 ?
Excellent Trip, stunning views, friendly guide ?
Wonderful trip out to Mou Waho with some fascinating information shared about the history of the area. Once on the island we were given two hours to explore by ourselves which was plenty of time to swim in the lake, take in the amazing views and enjoy the birdlife. A repeat visitor - this is a real treat!
Highly recommended! What a special place (a moderate climb up to a lake, on an island, in a lake (Wanaka) on an island South). Tim and MJ were great crew, very knowledgeable. And wonderful views!
Loved this trip. The hike up to the look out was a good workout before cooling off in the small lake on the island. Enjoyed our boat trip soaking in all the mountain views. Great adventure if having a day trip to Wanaka. We still had time afterwards to spend time in Wanaka before driving home.
Although we live locally, having parents over from the UK enabled us to 'act the tourist' and see more of what is in our own backyard! And what a treat it was! A great trip on Lake Wanaka on the Wanaka Water Taxi, landing on Stephenson's Arm, and then travelling by 4x4 vehicle onto farmland not able to be accessed otherwise. This is a must do trip - the views are amazing, looking over the lake and surrounding mountains; Charlie, our Guide was very informative and pleasant, the picnic was lovely, and the weather made it a stunning day. Whether you are visiting Wanaka, or if you live locally like us and don't have a boat, you have to do this trip - it's food for the soul!
Beautiful cruise on a beautiful boat amazing views of the lake
Amazing scenery , friendly crew , great for adults and kids . Best way to see Wanaka by water . Highly recommended
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.
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
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. The journey in the boat was very comfortable, plenty of space and reasonably priced drinks to purchase on way to the island and complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits on the return also. The walk is short and can be missed to enjoy time beside the lake, even for a quick dip!
I had a wonderful tour with Wanaka River Journeys. Our guide, Ben, was sharing many informational facts about the region throughout the whole journey and he was a joy to be around. From the pick up, the short drive to the boat take off, and the boat tour itself...I felt very taken care of by staff. Thank you for a great experience!
A brilliant session on the lake with See It was only the second time I have been wakeboarding and Seb made it a real success by explaining everything simply whilst being easy going and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend wakeboarding with Seb at Wanaka! One of the highlights of our NZ trip so far, thanks Seb!
The day was so perfect. Seb let me use his board and play my music as we had perfect glass and weather for the session. We got to stop and take some drone footage that was awesome. Those are the kind of days you live for. Will go again next time I’m in Wanaka!
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!
We had a great time on the lake with our excellent driver and your operator Matt’. It was so much fun and he was very engaging and knowledgeable. All the staff made sure we knew what was going on, from the time we booked and it was a great experience up the river and across the lake with those awesome views and great spins.
The ride combines a cruise across the lake, some high adrenaline fun and a quiet recharge for the next burst. Our Driver Steve was excellent and provided a great commentary on the lake and river. Highly recommend!
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.
I am so happy that I opted for this wonderful band most memorable adventurous activity.Thanks to the experienced pilot.! Nashi
Great and friendly instructor, very safe and awesome view of Wanaka
Price was great. Pictures and videos awesome. Nice people working there. Nothing more to say, just do it!
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!
Great time. Excellent guide
