Enjoy a comfortable cruise on our 28 seat super taxi Moutimu and a knowledgeable Kiwi skipper to answer your questions along the way.
Cruise through outstanding mountain scenery to the remote Mou Waho Island nature reserve. We are contracted to the Department of Conservation and every guest contributes to funding the conservation work on Mou Waho Island ensuring that it is a predator-free conservation area for our unique native birds and other fauna.
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.
A two hour self-guided nature walk is included and this will take you up to the natural glacial lake right on top of the island and magnificent mountain and lake scenery in every direction. This is rated as one of the top activities by visitors to Wanaka and rated among the best Wanaka walks and hikes.

Amazing Experience

5.00The tour was amazing. The boat ride to the island was comfortable and we learned a lot about the lake and surrounding land along the way. Our guide during the walk was great as well. The trail was slightly steep at times but definitely doable as there was a grandmother doing it with ease. The views atop the lookout were spectacular. This is a must book. Tip: The walk could be done in trainers but you may prefer shoes with traction especially if it rained recently.
All round great

5.00Our guide Austin was friendly and knowledgeable. Tour is definitely worthwhile - a lake on an island on a lake is a rare thing. The walk is not flat but also not too challenging.
Don’t miss this island!

5.00What started as a self-guided tour turned into an unforgettable adventure, thanks to our remarkable boat captain, Toby. His extensive knowledge of the area was so impressive that we immediately upgraded to a guided experience – easily the best decision of our trip! Despite the rainy morning, the views were absolutely breathtaking. Toby's expertise transformed what we could have seen as just another scenic boat ride into a fascinating journey through time and nature. His deep understanding of the lakes' formation and the islands' history brought every detail to life through enriching conversations and incredible facts. The highlight was discovering the mind-bending natural phenomenon of an island on a lake on an island on a lake! This unique geographical feature alone makes Mou Waho a must-visit destination, but it's the passionate and knowledgeable guidance that truly elevates the experience. The cruise strikes a perfect balance between educational content and natural appreciation. Even in less-than-perfect weather, the experience was magical – perhaps even enhanced by the mystical atmosphere the rain created around the islands. Pro tip: If you're considering the self-guided option, do yourself a favor and upgrade to the guided tour if Toby is available. His insights and stories add immeasurable value to the experience. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, history buff, or simply seeking a unique New Zealand adventure, this cruise and nature walk delivers on all fronts. It's an experience that will stay with you long after you've returned to shore.
