    The tour organised called me 25 minutes before the boat was due to depart, and said the tour hadn't met the minimal number of guests to run, so that it was cancelled. He did kindly offer a free upgrade to a longer tour departing later that day, however this didn't fit with our schedule. It would have been nice if we had been notified sooner. He could have called earlier that day and said it was looking unlikely the tour would run due to lower numbers, FYI. (We would have not waited around in town that day had we of known.)

    Wonderful little trip that we all enjoyed (aged 4 to 66). We asked the kids 4,9 and11) when we got home what they enjoyed today and all said the boat trip! Excellent scenery and tour guide imparted a wealth of knowledge that we all appreciated. Would recommend 👍

    When the cruise boat turned up ….well it was actually a small boat. Not what was advertised on the flyer. Had to climb in via a small ladder onto and into the front of the boat and a step down three stepped little ladder into the boat. Definitely not a recommended way of safely getting aboard. Couldn’t even go outside as he said it would destabilise the boat ? Kinda went near the Wanaka tree …..too far for a photo. Ruby island was more than a walk. Should have realised when the tour guide/skipper of the boat took his hiking pole. The ascent was steep and long … take a drink it will be needed. Very disappointing as this cost us $98.

    We enjoyed the cruise across the lake - but go see the tree from the beach as the view from the boat is a bit far away. The island walk is ok and the history of the island is interesting. It’s not really a photo walk - there’s just the one photo opportunity at the top of the hill. The guide and the driver were friendly and welcoming. Take a drink as there’s nowhere to purchase on the boat or island.
