Lake Cruise & Guided Island Nature Walk

A visit to Mou Waho Island is a truly memorable experience that blends scenic cruising, gentle exploration, and remarkable natural beauty. The journey begins with a peaceful boat ride across the clear waters of Lake Wanaka, where dramatic alpine scenery surrounds you in every direction. Upon arrival, the island reveals itself as a protected nature reserve, offering a calm and unspoiled environment that feels far removed from everyday life.

Once ashore, guests may choose to enjoy a relaxed bush walk through native vegetation, leading to the island’s unique hidden lake, a rare and fascinating natural feature. Along the way, there are opportunities to encounter native birdlife and take in sweeping panoramic views across the lake and mountains. The experience is completed with a pleasant afternoon tea, allowing time to unwind and fully appreciate the tranquil setting before the return cruise back to Wanaka.
