An Excellent Upgrade

Published on Feb, 2025

I was the only one booked for the Ruby Island Cruise, so I was offered an upgrade for the Stevenson Island Cruise and walk 3-5 pm. The man who arranged it for me was very helpful and the Cruise was excellent.

Outstanding!

Published on Sep, 2024

Outstanding way to spend an hour! Gorgeous views and the skipper (Toby) was wonderfully cheerful & knowledgeable. A delightful time indeed!

Highly recommend

Published on Jun, 2023

A short and sweet overview of lake wanaka and ruby island.Our skipper/guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we would recommend to anyone visiting with only a few hours in wanaka.

Awesome!
