Escape to the tranquil beauty of Lake Wānaka on a Stevensons Island Cruise & Nature Walk, combining a scenic luxury cruise with an unforgettable island adventure. Step aboard a spacious 57-foot catamaran and enjoy a leisurely 45-minute cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wānaka to Stevensons Arm, where rolling green pastures, rugged peaks, and breathtaking alpine scenery create a spectacular backdrop.

Upon arriving at Stevensons Island, make a unique beach landing via the vessel’s front hydraulic ramp and join an optional guided nature walk ashore. Your guide will lead a short hike to a scenic viewpoint overlooking the striking Minaret Peaks, offering excellent photo opportunities. Along the way, discover the island’s fascinating Māori and colonial history and learn about the conservation efforts to revive the nearly extinct Buff Weka. The island’s glacial landscapes, weather-shaped rocks, and twisted native trees create a dramatic setting that is particularly inspiring for nature lovers and photographers.

After exploring the island, return to the catamaran to enjoy complimentary afternoon tea as you cruise back to the Wānaka waterfront. Combining luxury cruising, spectacular alpine scenery, and an enriching guided walk on one of Lake Wānaka’s hidden gems, this experience is a relaxing and memorable way to experience the region’s natural beauty and heritage.
