Pleasant experience but NOT for families!
Our family of 4 were very much looking forward to going on this cruise in Wanaka. We were lucky with the weather and the kids (6 and 3) were super excited about being on the boat. It was almost like a private cruise as there was only one other couple on the boat. Unfortunately, the owner of the boat was very hostile towards the kids from the moment we stepped onboard. He kept growling at them all throughout the cruise, mostly for petty silly things. Most skippers have let my kids pose for a photo in the 'control' seat but not this guy. He got really aggro with my son for having a seat and posing for a photo (when the boat was turned off and moored up. The organisers should mention that small children are not welcome on this cruise because that's exactly what it felt like. Including the owner's comments made to the other couple just as we were leaving the boat. The other crew member, Pavla, was lovely and super friendly. Unfortunately, even her efforts to make us feel welcome were did little to undo the 'damage' done by Tim ( I believe that was the owner's name). Overall, a nice enough cruise if you're travelling without kids. Was a little disappointed about not seeing any weka as that was one of the reasons I booked us on the cruise in the first place. Turns out they're on another island...

A bit overpriced for uneducated staff
Uneducated and not caring for the status of the area. The boat ride was slow and got boring. The island you spend 20mins on walking to the top then get given a very uneducated talk by the young guy. He was wearing high top nikes which explained his "love for nature" was probably more a town boy. Was giving out false information about Maori history. Also the operators have a diligence to take care of the islands and respect all rules. There was a dog the guide stated it was not meant to be on the island but was just a small dog. This should of had the operators calling 0800hotdoc immediately . They failed all responsibility they accept when taking people to the island. Definitely needs to educate tour guide immediately to not give tourists false information that could get them in legal trouble.

Stevensons Island Cruise
Stunning day for a cruise on the Lake, great commentary, and the most amazing photos of the sheep on these hills. Was it Burke Station? Not sure but just stunning!
