Transfer from Queenstown to Moke Lake for a self-paced kayak or paddle board outing, with safety briefing, local commentary and kiwi refreshments.

Tour Overview

Leave Queenstown behind and head into the back country for time on the calm waters of Moke Lake, just 20 minutes from town. This trip is designed for independent exploring, giving you the freedom to paddle at your own pace by kayak or paddle board in a quiet rural setting surrounded by mountains.

Your guide will collect you in Queenstown and drive you comfortably to Moke Lake, sharing commentary about the local region on the way. It is a relaxed transfer with time to ask questions before you arrive at the lake. Once there, you will receive a safety briefing covering key features and then set out on the water at your own speed.

Moke Lake offers a peaceful contrast to the busier atmosphere of Queenstown. The experience focuses on simple, self-paced time outdoors, with space to take in the mountain setting and enjoy the stillness of this local favourite. After your paddle, kiwi refreshments are provided before the return journey.

This is a straightforward way to reach Moke Lake without organising your own transport, while still keeping the experience flexible and easygoing on the water.
