Cruise to unique Mou Waho Island for a guided nature walk to the natural glacial lake on top of the island . Once aboard our fast lake cruiser, guests can relax in comfort and enjoy a 30 minute cruise among spectacular mountain scenery with commentary on local history, geology and culture.

On the island you will have 2 hours ashore for a guided walk. Learn about the island and its unique bird-life from our knowledgeable guides as you hike to the summit enjoying outstanding photo opportunities.

Mou Waho Island is a predator-free Department of Conservation nature reserve with a natural glacial formed lake at its summit. Here you can see first-hand results of conservation efforts including the rare flightless Buff Weka (extinct on the mainland since 1920), the Mountain Stone Weta and many other native birds.

Please note that the walk goes up 150 m vertically over 1 km.

Took the Guided option which was very worthwhile. Toby was well informed, interesting and knowledgeable. Shop around for the best prices. Inadvertently we managed to save over $100 on the booking.

35 min each way on small boat 15 pax in total. Steep climb at times, occasional damp (remember decent footwear. Im 71 with average capability. Managed the climb with a few stops to catch a breath. Well worth the views from the top. Jaimie was our guide who walked with me (others already spurted on ahead of the “group”). Really enjoyed the walk. Only spotted a bellbird, no weka for me but some did see the elusive bird🤣 Would do it again. Long drop type toilets by the island landing point for those in need🤪

We had an excellent trip from Wanaka to Mou Waho island. The boat trip to and from the island went very smoothly with excellent views of the surrounding landscape of Wanaka. When we reached the island we had a very enjoyable guided walk to a lake at the top of the island and then proceeded to the summit of the island with spectacular 360 degree views. Highly recommended.
Try it!

This was a great experience with nice views and a bit of cardio/steps to round out the day. Jamie (guide) was very informative and personable. The boat ride out to the island was a little choppy initally because of the weather, but generally felt safe and comfortable during the ride. The walk up the island does require a little bit of fitness as it is a steady incline, BUT there are numerous rest points, you can take your time and go at your own pace and you don't have to walk all of the way to the top of the summit to enjoy nice views. We had a decent range of age groups, fitness levels etc., so don't feel intimidated. Great tour - would recommend.
360 degrees views!

Lovely experience on a gorgeous day luckily! Toby took our small group of 6 on a 30min boat ride to the island. Was a bit rocky on the way in, much smoother on the way out with gorgeous views. We then spent about 2hrs in total on the island hiking up to the viewpoint and back down.
Beauty beyond words

One of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. Just breathtaking and I’m not sure if words or iPhone pictures can do it justice. A lovely and relaxing boat ride and then a short walk to the peak of a small mountain. And then — prepare yourself — a scene out of a fairy tale. Incomprehensible. On the way down you help plant a tree to generate even more beauty. Craig was our incredible guide. Make sure you book this one!
Rainy but adventurous

The first thing to know is they go in all weather. We had a steady rain trying to lightening today. There were 7 of us for the boat ride which was rough in pretty large waves. The captain did his best and the sense of humor was necessary. The nature walk was through a downpour and an adventure. Pick up stated at the Wanaka Marina but at the time of pick up I called and was told I was at the wrong place. They swung in and picked us up. I would recommend in good weather but consider cancelling in bad.
Dont think just do it!
