Wonderful Wanaka Cruise! - The hospitality of the crew and pleasant company of other guests made this cruise a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve away from home. The weather was a little rainy off and on but there was lots of room inside the boat for everyone. And when it was pleasant outside there was room outside for everyone. Beautiful views and knowledgable, competent & friendly crew made it a wonderful evening. Thanks!

Lake Wanaka Happy Hour cruise - Very enjoyable cruise on Lake Wanaka. Departed right on time. Tim and Cam were great hosts. The wind direction was a bit unusual which meant the lake was very choppy but Tim did a great job manoeuvring the catamaran into calmer waters. Kudos to Cam who managed to serve multiple drinks on a tray, up and down stairs without spilling a single one in very bumpy conditions. Cheese platter was lovely. My only suggestion would be a bit more commentary about Wanaka would be welcome during the cruise and if susceptible to motion sickness take something beforehand.

Crowded - The crew are great, but we picked the wrong time of year to do this tour. 12 degrees (celcius) and 20 knot winds. The boat is a bit small for the number of people they take onboard. It felt very crowded.
