James was very friendly and professional. We were captivated listening what he had to say about the lake and surrounds. We had plenty of time to do our hike and have our break at the top of the hill and enjoy the views. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommended.

Mealzza, Sep 2026
Don’t Miss the Top Lookout! 🏔️
Absolutely loved the Mou Waho Island Cruise and Guided Nature Walk! This was such a beautiful and unique experience and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Wanaka.We chose to do the walk self-guided on the way up, which gave us plenty of time to explore at our own pace, and then joined the group for the walk back down. Our guide/skipper was fantastic — very friendly, knowledgeable and easy-going, and really added to the experience.The island is absolutely beautiful, and the scenery throughout the walk is simply magic. You absolutely must make it to the top lookout! The views are incredible and are 100% worth the walk up. Seeing the alpine lake surrounded by mountains is something we won’t forget.The cruise across to the island was also fantastic, with stunning scenery the whole way. It was the perfect combination of nature, wildlife, beautiful views and a little adventure.Such a memorable experience and definitely something we would recommend to anyone visiting Wanaka! 🌿🏔️🚤

‘Express’ Wine Tour & Māori Culture Wānaka
_W7619MP, Aug 2026
Best choice in wanaka
I booked this tour in a rush the day before, and it was truly the best choice! It was raining heavily, but our guide, Joe, was so kind and took great care of everyone. Not only did I get to enjoy great wine, but I also learned about the history of New Zealand and the Māori people, making it a truly meaningful time. Plus, his place to stay is amazing! If you visit Wanaka, I highly recommend staying at his studio.

Lake Cruise & Mou Waho Island Nature Walk
Ffigwit, Aug 2026
Thoroughly Enjoyable!
We had a rather bouncy ride over to the island (there was quite a stiff breeze which made the lake a tad choppy). However, the sun was shining and our excellent guide led us on a lovely walk to the summit, pointing out things of interest en route. We were then provided with a welcome cup of tea and a biscuit. The island is being replanted with native trees and, on the way down, we helped plant a sapling, which was a really nice touch. Definitely recommend this trip.

Wine and friendship!
Highly recommend this incredible tour! Our guide Michelle truly made the experience unforgettable. She was incredibly friendly, kind, funny, and matched our sense of humor perfectly. Her extensive knowledge of the area and the local landscape geology added a fascinating layer to the day. We loved that so many knowledgeable women hosted us at the tastings to share their passion. We visited Carrick, Mischas(delicious food platter), Quartz Reef, Rippon, and Aitkens(Ian was SO lovely), and every single stop was absolutely delicious. Five stars!

5 wineries + lunch with Jess, the ultimate guide
We had an amazing day. Jess, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept things moving at a perfect pace. Our highlight was a delicious group lunch. We were so happy Jess (our guide) could join us for lunch, she kept the conversation light and entertaining. She also described the pairings of courses + wine. A real wine expert! We opted for 5 wineries. By the 5th, we had had more than enough. Such a fun day. Highly recommend and would definitely do it again. Jess says every tour is unique & different and I can’t wait to do it again!!!

Lake Cruise & Mou Waho Island Nature Walk
Sue A, May 2026
Undersold by Trailfinders
Had a fantastic time. Enjoyed the cruise but the walk on the island with the guide was excellent. Eco tours are the only guides that are allowed on the island. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the ecology of the island. They do a huge amount of indigenous tree planting and are effectively the islands custodians. As part of the tour you get to plant a tree.

Best Wine Tour in Wanaka
My friend and I decided to book this wine tour last minute and it was the highlight of our time in Wanaka! We got to do tastings at four different wineries and tasted a variety of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. We also had a delicious charcuterie board at Cork∩. Joe was an incredible guide throughout the day, he was super kind, welcoming, and taught us so much about Māori culture along the way! Could not have had a better time, thank you again!
