2.00It is not a guided tour of the Island. It is a boat trip and a drop off to the Island only where visitors make their own arrangements with no accompanying guide. There is some commentary on the boat trip going to the island which is very basic, partially correct and has no reference to the significant restoration programme which has been undertaken on the island.
Great excursion, anytime again

5.00We had a lovely trip to Mou Waho! Our guide was very knowledgeable and set us up well to explore the island. The track was well maintained and we loved the views. Beautiful birdsong surrounded us as we walked through native bush. We even got to see a Buff Weka, a species you can’t see on the mainland. Highly recommend!
Beautiful and relaxing Boat ride to the island

5.00Brent the boat driver was very knowledgeable about the history area of the lake. The boat was very comfortable. We were dropped at the island and hiked up to the the tiny lake on the island which is pretty. We didn't hike to the lookout but I would encourage everyone to do this. The views looked incredible
