Experience these two incredible Wanaka gems – a Lake Wanaka cruise and guided nature walk to Mou Waho Island, then stay at the beautifully scenic LandEscape on a motorhome site with your own private hot tub.
Lake Wanaka Cruise and guided nature walk to Mou Waho Island
Cruise to the remote Mou Waho Island nature reserve, home of the lake, on an island, in a lake (on an island). Enjoy a velvet smooth ride as you cruise among the majestic mountains of Lake Wanaka.
Mou Waho Island is a predator free Department of Conservation nature reserve with a natural glacial formed lake at its summit. Here you can see first-hand results of conservation efforts including the rare flightless Buff Weka (extinct on the mainland since 1920), the Mountain Stone Weta and many other native birds.
Wanaka Cruises are a Department of Conservation Concession holder for Mou Waho Island. Fees are paid to DOC for each visitor to the island and this contributes to the ongoing conservation efforts.
A two hour guided nature walk is included in this option. This will take you up to the natural glacial lake right on top of the island and magnificent mountain and lake scenery in every direction. This is rated as one of the top activities by visitors to Wanaka and rated among the best Wanaka walks and hikes.
From there your guide will take you even higher to the lookout rock for some of the regions most spectacular views and the outstanding photo opportunities.
Your guides have extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna, geology and both colonial and Māori history.
Overnight Motorhome site with Hot Tub at Land Escape Farm
LandEscape Farm is the perfect base for the motorhome traveller to press the pause button as they explore Wanaka, one of NewZealand’s most compelling travel destinations. We will be creating lots of inducements to entice you to stay a while rather than just sleep and move on. Central to that is that we offer you the perfect way to do what you came here for which is to spend a couple of days exploring this fascinating region and glorying in some of the finest scenery this stunningly scenic country has to offer – that being aboard our e-bikes!
Leave the motorhome parked beside your private wood-fired spring-fed hot tub at your beautiful isolated campsite, without a road or car visible to impact the uninterrupted mountain vistas, and spend your day exploring Wanaka’s best by e-bike. Your e-bike ride (with unlimited battery swaps) is a scenic continuum and you’ll see and enjoy vastly more than you would driving, parking and walking.
Our amazing local cycle trail system is the region’s second transportation network and can get you to all the major “must-do” attractions and businesses without the hassle of the motorhome being involved. Return to spend the evening, and on into the deep space of the darkest of nights, in your own little hole in the fabric of the universe, your LandEscape SpaGazer.
