Description
Join the latest water sports craze and give Stand Up Paddle Boarding a go on the stunning Lake Wanaka! Unlike traditional surfing where you sit on the board, Stand Up Paddle Boarding involves standing on the board and using a paddle to propel yourself through the water.
Before setting out on your self-guided adventure you will take part in a safety briefing with a knowledgeable guide, covering everything you will need to know for your tour. After this, you can head out on your chosen mission! Choose to explore Lake Wanaka away from the crowds on The Mission Freedom Rental, or paddle out to one of Lake Wanaka's islands on the Paddleboard & Cruise from Ruby Island trip.
Whether you have tried surfing before or not SUP will provide you with a great work out whilst allowing you to explore the local area and its natural beauty.
Paddleboard & Cruise from Ruby Island (3 hours) - Paddle an easy 45 minutes out to Ruby Island, one of the 4 main islands on Lake Wanaka. You will then have 2 hours to spend on the island before catching the return shuttle back to Wanaka Lakefront. Explore the trails, enjoy a picnic or simply relax and take in the views.
The Mission Freedom Rental (4 hours) - The perfect way to explore Lake Wanaka away from the busy crowds! This challenge will have you taking a shuttle out to your start point and paddling back along the coast of Lake Wanaka to reach Roys Bay (approx 8-10kms). Your time limit is 3-4 hours. Ready...
