Today (2009-12-14) we made a half day trip vom Wanaka city to the Island "Mou Wako". Already in the run-up to the tour our guide Chris Riley was very friendly.

We were recommended Eco Wanaka Adventures by the hosts at our b & b in Wanaka. We had limited time in Wanaka and opted to do the Lake Cruise and Mou Waho Nature Walk. We were picked up by our guide (Chris / Co-owner) and began the journey across Lake Wanaka in Chris's small boat. It was the begining of... more
