Great experience and yes, we touched THAT Tree! It was also very exciting to jump from kayak into refreshing water of Wanaka Lake.

This is a fantastic way for the reasonably competent kayaker to spend four hours exploring Lake Wanaka. Ruby Island is a highlight. Good quality gear with a choice of singles/doubles/sea kayaks/SOTs.

If you have basic competence in kayaking then this is a great way to have a half day on the beautiful waters around Wanaka. We and our hired kayaks ( Misson Glide singles) were taken by Austin in a water taxi a few kms out and dropped off on a beach, with all necessary equipment and instructions. We then made our way back, exploring as we went, over the next 3 1/2 hours. There are plenty of easy beach landing spots - a highlight was Ruby Island. It was great to have a few hours out there, with the only requirement being that we checked in by phone mid- trip. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re confident and competent in a kayak as a great way to see Wanaka from the water.

Was so great. Before heading out we were told where the best areas to go were due to the weather. Was super fun and very well priced.

Good service, good options for paddling or kayak and trips to the ruby island. Easy instructions. Very glad that we chose to do this, do it earlier in the morning before it became too hot, and this place is less busy than queenstown, with little disturbances from water skiing or sailing. Very peaceful and at your pace experience.
