Wanaka Water Taxi Mou Waho Island Tour

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING: 

Our trips are likely to run over 3 hours so schedule 3.5 hours of your time just to be sure. 

Our scheduled departures require a minimum of 4 adults. (2 departures a day, low season 1 departure a day). The extra departures need a minimum of 6 adults to go ahead. 

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.

Stay for 1.5+ hours on the island before heading back to shore, or go in the morning and spend the day as you please before catching the afternoon taxi home.

Departure times: 10 am & 2 pm. 

"Because we love going there" 

Trip departs from the Wanaka Marina on Lakeside Road on the bigger jetty with the silver bridge.
