— What You Can Expect —

Embark on a luxury boat cruise to Stevensons Island, a serene journey that showcases the stunning beauty of Lake Wanaka while contributing to environmental sustainability as Wanaka’s first Carbon Positive operator. This 45-minute cruise each way aboard a 57-foot catamaran offers unparalleled views of verdant green pastures and the majestic Mount Gold as you make your way to the secluded Stevensons Arm, home to Mount Burke high country sheep station.

Upon arrival at Stevensons Island, your friendly and knowledgeable guide will lead a short, optional hike to the island's summit, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Minaret Peaks. Along the way, learn about the conservation efforts to revive the nearly extinct Buff Weka, as well as the fascinating Maori and colonial history that has shaped the island.

This cruise is a photographer's dream, with the island's unique landscape—shaped by glaciation and winds—offering some of nature’s most beautiful backdrops. After your island exploration, enjoy a complimentary afternoon tea as you relax on the return journey, soaking in the spectacular mountain scenery.

Rated as one of Wanaka's top ten activities, this cruise is perfect for those seeking a relaxing yet enriching experience on the lake. With additional drinks available on purchase.
