This luxury boat cruise is the most relaxing way to experience the scenery of Lake Wanaka and frequently rates in the top ten things to do in Wanaka!
Take a leisurely 45 minute cruise out to Stevensons Arm, home to Mount Burke high country sheep station. Verdant green pastures precede Mount Gold which rises majestically into the Northern skyline.
Relax in comfort as you cruise up the arm to Stevensons Island where Dual Image will make a beach landing. Your guide will take you ashore via the front loading ramp for a short hike to the summit to view the Minaret Peaks with some excellent photo opportunities.
Learn about the conservation efforts to revive the nearly extinct Buff Weka, along with the interesting Maori and colonial history of the island.
Stevensons Island is an inspiration for photographers – shaped by glaciation and eons of winds that funnel down the arm, rock and twisted trunks meld into a patina of nature’s finest backdrops.
Your island adventure is complete with afternoon tea on return to Dual Image and another 45 minute scenic cruise back to the Wanaka waterfront.
Independent customer reviews rate this experience as one of Wanaka’s favorite afternoon activities.
