Great trip

This was a great trip. After a short boat ride out, we had an informative guided tour around the island and the whole family had a great time. Took my 1year old and 3 year old and both loved it. Highly recommend.

Wanaka lake WOW!

Loved this little lake cruise to Ruby Island. Great for photos and learning a bit about the regions history. Toby our skipper and walk guide was a great host. Would like to do the other two island trips in the future.
