Relaxing and amazing scenery! - A great way to spend an afternoon on the beautiful Lake Wanaka. Tim and Cam were lovely and very informative about the local environment. Thank you for a memorable afternoon, and the beverages on the way back were also very enjoyable!

Well worth it! - What a treat this was! Really glad we did this trip - well worth it. A smooth sailing over that took about 45 mins (and it’s stunning) to Stevensons Island. Had about half an hour to walk to the top, take some pics and learn a bit about the area. The cup of tea and biscuits on the way home was a lovely touch.

Great afternoon activity. - Nice afternoon activity with great conversation, local information and company with only 6 passengers! Beautiful views around the Lake and a short trek on the island to a good vantage point for good photos. Pathway was an easy walk with a slightly steep bit to end at the top. Bron and Tim the Captain were great hosts. A welcome tea or coffee and biscuits on our return to the boat.

Card cross with small walk - The setup good, but the promised hike/hike was only a 20-minute walk. The guide was knowledgeable, but shallow. The boat trip was good and the skipper did a good job
