Come and join us on a trip to our favourite place on Lake Wanaka, Mou Waho Island.Where you can find an island, on a lake, on an island, on a lake, on an island on the sea! Mou Waho Island is a protected nature reserve and is home to many native New Zealand birds including the curious and flightless Weka. A short walk takes you to the top of the island where you will be exposed to breathtaking panoramic views of the Arethusa pool, Lake Wanaka and its surrounding peaks. Our water taxi leaves Wanaka Marina twice-daily travelling 15km up Lake Wanaka, passing Mou Tapu Island and the steep cliff of fisherman's cove to Mou Waho Island. Your friendly and knowledgeable skipper will inform you of the fascinating geology of the alps and the glaciers that created the lake as you travel along its sparkling waters. Trip includes a 1.5+ hour freedom walk on the island. Note: Christmas Day Mou Waho Island Tour includes a Xmas picnic and will run a bit longer so we can all celebrate together.

This was an enjoyable experience. Crystal was helpful and provided information about what we were seeing and where we were going. At Mou Waho Island, we were able to go for a walk to a beautiful small lake (walking pole thoughtfully provided by Wanaka Water Taxis). After enjoying the views there, I walked up to the next stage where we looked down over the small lake, and over to Lake Wanaka. A truly wonderful way to spend a few hours.

A fun trip two thirds of the way up the 47 Km long lake. Informative commentary on the lake's glacial history and the geography and geology of the area. The walk to the top of the island was through a varied example of local flora. The bird songs were delightful, as was the view from the top. Well worth the cost.
