Escape the crowds and discover the magic of Mou Waho Island.
Where you can find an island, on a lake, on an island, on a lake, on an island on the sea!
Mou Waho Island is a protected nature reserve and is home to many native New Zealand birds including the curious and flightless Weka. A short thirty minute walk takes you to the top of the island where you will be exposed to breathtaking panoramic views of the Arethusa pool, Lake Wanaka and its surrounding peaks.
Bring your swimwear and take a dip in the stunning lake on the top of the island, or in Lake Wanaka!
Our water taxi leaves Wanaka Marina twice-daily travelling 15km up Lake Wanaka, passing Mou Tapu Island and the steep cliff of fisherman's cove to Mou Waho Island. Your friendly and knowledgeable skipper will inform you of the fascinating geology of the alps and the glaciers that created the lake as you travel along its sparkling waters. Enjoy 1.5 hours exploring the Island and hiking to the hidden lake!

During the trip to the island, our driver Hanna was telling some stories and facts about other islands or about Wanaka. It was very interesting. The time in the island is enough, not too much or too few, you have time to enjoy the island and to come back to the boat again. Highly recommended.
Had a great time, Brent was a great guide full of great information
Informative narration on the ride up to the island from the friendly and engaging skipper. Gorgeous views from the island lookout.
Great trip, skipper was fantastic and told us all kinds of interesting stuff about the area. Definitely recommend.
