Great family fun

I thought the whole facility was great, the climbing walls were great for all ages. My kids are 4 and 6, there was something for all of them. The only negative for me was I was on my own with two children, I was also climbing. I didn’t get any help hooking and unhooking the kids. So I had limited time climbing myself as there was no assistance with the kids....I’m not sure how it’s all suppose to work but it would have been helpful to have someone there to assist younger children. I would recommend bringing someone to help if your on your own with young children.

A great morning!

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!

Stunning Scenery

I would highly recommend this trip up the Matukituki valley, the scenery as you head up towards Mt Aspiring national park is truly breath taking, with a few 360 degree spins along the way to add to the excitement. The walk to the waterfall through the native bush is peaceful and enjoyable, before heading back down the river. I didn't want the day to end!

Loved this trip. Was right on time and Sophie our van driver was friendly. Ben our jet boat driver was very informative and didn’t rush things and so the whole trip felt relaxed and easy going. Scenery was amazing and the glacier was spectacular despite the cloud covering probably half of it. Highly recommend this trip!

We booked late the night before on bookme, and all was ready for us on arrival the following morning. We booked two mountain bikes and received new-ish good quality Marin bikes, in great condition which were ideal for our ride around the side of the lake and round into the river outlet. Helmets were provided, and a gel saddle cover on request. Staff were great and we thought this brilliant value for money.

Went for the bike trail around Clutha River to Albert Town and going back to Wanaka. They give you a quick run through and it was awesome. you get to take some nice photos along the way. I would suggest to hire the bike a whole day.

Half day hire Hardtail

I was tossing up between an e-bike or hardtail. Went with hardtail as Wanaka tracks are flat. I’m 43 & a hardtail was fine. We road from Wanaka to Albertown, along the water front. Stopped off for lunch & a beer at The Albie & then road back the quick way. Loved it. Great arvo.

Awesome day trip

Beautiful scenery. You can take all day to do it if you want, and there are other tracks you could add on if you are fit enough. I went to John's Creek at the end of Lake Hawea, and also did part of the Deans Bank Track in Albert Town. Got dropped off at 1045am in Lake Hawea and was back by 230pm in Wanaka. I recommend this.
