Excellent tour and great guide
This was a new experience for us on Lake Wanaka. The boat journey was beautiful and such awesome scenery and commentary along the way. What a beautiful island! The bush was beautiful, the scenery from many points up the hill was exceptional and the view from the top amazing. A lake on an island on a lake on an island in the sea! We chose unguided island tour, however the guide was very helpful in answers the questions we had when turning to boat.

Island hike
amazing views everywhere, the view from the town you can see it up close going to the island, the hike was easy but a little bit windy at that time, the captain was nice and the boat ride was fun despite the big waves😁

Beautiful & tranquil
This is a gorgeous combination of a lake cruise & a leisurely trek on a unique island, full of wildlife & interesting plants with views to match. The boat skipper was very knowledgeable about the area & shared that with the travellers. The climb to the top of the island may not be suitable for all people, but everybody on our trip succeeded, including me at 70 - you just need to take it at your own pace as plenty of time is allowed. The other item I would recommend (that I forgot to take) is to take a swimming costume with you (if you like swimming) as you are allowed to swim in the tiny lake at the top of the island. Someone did that when we were there & all I could do was look on, jealously!
