Was the kids first time climbing. The instructor was great giving the briefing and they all understood how to keep safe. The four of them had a blast doing this for my sons birthday and are looking forward to next time.

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!

A different way to see beautiful Lake Wanaka! The boat was clean, comfortable and very stable. Tim & Tim, Captain & crew, were friendly and helpful. The walk on the island was interesting and the view was worth the small effort. Very glad we did this Cruise. Highly recommended!

Loved this beautiful afternoon on the water! We got to cruise around Lake Wanaka on a really quality vessel, take a short easy hike to a beautiful view on Stevenson Island, and enjoy a snack on the way back. The crew were so genuinely kind and lovely to chat with. Definitely recommend- good for bringing your well behaved kid along, accessible for those who would like a short easy hike, nothing too strenuous. Bathrooms on board. Drinks available too!

Wanaka evening lake cruise.

Great hosts and nice comfortable boat. Good choice of wines, beers etc. Quite a small number of people on our cruise so plenty of room to move about. The cheese and crackers were nice and plenty to go round. Only thing was the hour went really fast, could have done two easily. Beautiful scenery.

Lovely, comfortable boat and fantastic, friendly staff with a wealth of information and an enthusiasm to share this with everyone. A lovely trip well worth the money, and great to see parts of the lake that you otherwise never see unless have own boat. The walk at the other end was nice and short with a great view but a bit much for an almost 80 year old in the intense summer sun. Suggest changing afternoon tea from the biscuits to maybe cut up slices in order to keep fresh?? In all we loved this trip though - thank you!

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!
