2-hour small-group cruise on Lake Wanaka to Stevensons Island, with a guided summit walk, mountain views, and tea, coffee and biscuits on return.

Tour Overview

Cruise across Lake Wanaka on a small group trip to Stevensons Island, combining time on the water with a guided nature walk. After boarding the luxury catamaran, you’ll spend around 45 minutes cruising through the mountain scenery that surrounds the lake before arriving at the island.

On Stevensons Island, the guided walk leads to the summit, giving you a chance to stretch your legs and take in elevated views over Lake Wanaka and the surrounding ranges. The pace is shaped around the walk and the cruise, making this a straightforward way to experience both the lake and the island in a single outing.

Back on board, the return cruise to Wanaka includes complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, so there is time to settle in and enjoy the ride back after the walk. A licensed bar is also available, with happy hour prices offered on board.

This 2 hour experience keeps the focus on a relaxed journey across Lake Wanaka, the short guided walk on Stevensons Island, and the contrast between open water, mountain scenery and island viewpoints.
