Printed or mobile voucher accepted
Fast booking confirmation
The Tiki Tour starts with you meeting one of your guides, either at the Wanaka I-site or right at your accommodation door! From there, it’s a quick drive down to the lake, where you will all hop onto a water-taxi, beginning your 15-minute scenic cruise to a remote section of the lake. Your guide will explain the lay of the land and the plan for the day.
Arriving at the kayak starting point, you’ll get your safety gear on, get a kayaking skills lesson, and get on the water! The pace you paddle at is determined by the group dynamics, and whether you are more interested in taking photos or in testing out your Olympic sprint time! No matter how fast you go, after about an hour your guide will find you an epic spot to take a rest and have a picnic (a light beverage, plus the best brownie you will ever have!)
Looping back to your start point (after exploring a few more hidden sweet-spots and taking a few more photos), you’ll leave the kayaks behind, hop back on the water-taxi, and cruise back into town. Your guide will be drop you back off where you started, and you can spend the rest of your day wishing you were still on the water!
Exact location/route may vary depending on the conditions.
