This relaxing boat cruise out to Ruby Island is great for anyone looking for a quick & memorable trip to an unknown gem on Lake Wanaka! A short cruise with a gentle guided photo walk included.

Join small groups of fellow travelers on this relaxing visit to a very cute island.

Your guided walk around the island is one of the easiest Wanaka walks and suitable for all ages.
