Full description
Visit Mou Waho Island on a 3 hour cruise experience departing from Wanaka's lakefront. Mou Waho is a predator free Department of Conservation reserve. See first-hand the results of conservation efforts including the Mountain Stone Weta and the rare flightless Buff Weka, extinct on the mainland since 1920. Take a relaxing cruise out to Mou Waho Island on our fast super taxi. On arrival, enjoy a 2-hour guided bush walk that takes you up to a lake right on top of the island. The guides have extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna, geology and both colonial and Maori history. Marvel at magnificent mountain and lake scenery in every direction. Your guide will then take you even higher to a lookout rock. On the scenic cruise back to the Wanaka waterfront, relax and take in the mountain views.

Good trip with a friendly and informative guide. Steep climb to the viewpoint but well worth it when you reach the top.
