Description
Lake Wanaka is situated in the picturesque region of Central Otago in the South Island of New Zealand and is the fourth largest lake in New Zealand, spanning 45km in length and reaching depths of up to 300m. The scenic lakeside town boasts a charming setting with its alpine backdrop and the lake is home to many secluded beaches, bays and bush clad islands just waiting to be explored. Adventure Wanaka offers skippered lake and fishing excursions aboard a luxurious 6.5 metre launch on the waters of Lake Wanaka year round.
Lake Cruises
A lake cruise is fit for any season. Enjoy the early warmth of spring weather, soak up the summer sun and take a dive from the deck to cool off. Admire the spectacular autumn colours or rest your ski-weary legs in winter and marvel at the snow-clad backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
Choose from a one hour Sunrise lake cruise, a two hour Stevenson's Island cruise with a guided island bush walk or the three hour Mou Waho Island trip which includes a guided walk up to Arethusa Lake at the top of the island and native weka encounters.
Fishing
Enjoy a scenic day out fishing on beautiful Lake Wanaka. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned expert, Adventure Wanaka can cater to your fishing ability. Relax and immerse yourself in the magical surroundings as you fish in comfort onboard the 6.5 metre luxury launch for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout or Quinnat Salmon. Choose to Troll, Spin or Flyfish and upon landing your catch have it filleted and cooked in front of you on the portable barbecue. Nothing beats freshly caught fish straight from the lake to your plate with a dash of lemon, salt and pepper. Yum!
Trips are personalised to suit you and all equipment is supplied including fresh home baking and light refreshments. Please note fishing licenses are not included and are an additional cost to be paid on the day.
