Mou Waho Island Cruise and Nature Walk - Australia Luxury Travel Absolute Australia

Mou Waho, one of only five islands to be found in the vastness of Lake Wanaka. Accessible only by a 35-minute boat cruise, Mou Waho is an island nature reserve with a difference. With no predators or pests roaming here, New Zealand’s rare & endangered species can live in peace, giving you the opportunity to observe them up close. Walking with a long-time local guide, the well-formed track leads you through the native bush to Tyrwhitt Peak.

Here you will find Arethusa Pool, a beautiful miniature lake with small islands within it. Impress your friends by telling them you have visited an island in a lake, inside an island in a lake, inside an island in the ocean! From Tyrwhitt Peak, you’ll be spellbound by the 360-degree views of Lake Wanaka surrounding you, and the mountains beyond. Don’t forget your swimwear: on a hot day, it’s hard to resist a swim in Mou Waho’s cool clear waters.
