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.

Often called the jewel of Wanaka, Ruby is small but very photogenic. The eclectic mix of exotic and native plants adds a foreground to the colors of the lake and the mountains behind.
