Happy hour like no other! - We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, and we doubt there is a better happy hour to be found any where in Wanaka. The backdrop is awesome and the cruise goes by far too fast, albeit it could be that the alcohol helps! As for the cheese and biscuits don’t expect anything out of the ordinary - it’s functional and plentiful, but not a gourmet event, but with drinks at $6 each (after the initial freebie) we had no complaints! It’s basically a nice cruise with a drink on the poop deck thrown in!! Enjoy….

Lovely way to spend an hour - We had a fabulous time on the cruise. The staff and crew were really lovely, very friendly. There was plenty of food and wine to round and the views were beautiful. We met some lovely people on board and spent most of our time chatting, it was brilliant.

Too good too short - Wonderful really cruisey, pardon the pun. Plenty of places on the boat to chill out and enjoy the scenery. Skipper and crew super friendly.

average boating experience - Island stop had a great view. Would have loved to hear more about the history of the island, and lake.

Booked different and got this one - I originally booked for Stevensons but they canceled it last hour as they didn’t have minimum required numbers to run the cruise. They moved me to the happy hour cruise. I took the option because it was my last day in Wanaka.
This was a good cruise but I am sad that I couldn’t do what I preferred.

Not much to write home about - Just a cruise, one drink and a little cheese in a confined space. Views I can see from the shore line so nothing to write home about except wasting my money
