Mou Waho Island Water Taxi:
Come and join us on a trip to our favourite place on Lake Wanaka, 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 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.
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.
Stay for 1.5 hours on the island before heading back to shore, or go in the morning and spend the day as you please before catching the afternoon taxi home.
Departure times: 10 am & 2 pm.
Wanaka Explorer 4x4:
Wanaka Explorer 4x4 offers you the ultimate lake and mountain adventure. The dramatic glacial calved basin filled with the melt water from seasonal snows with ancient glaciers is the backdrop to your adventure with us.
Boat through the calm waters of Lake Wanaka's Stevenson's arm - a constantly changing vista of steep walls and jagged peaks leads to a small beach where you will disembark to board our 4x4 vehicle.
Climbing above the lake your view expands until all of Lake Wanaka lays beneath you in a stunning panorama of sparkling blue water and rows of rugged alpine peaks.
