Ruby Island Cruise & Scenic Walk

Enjoy a relaxing cruise out to Ruby Island after our luxury 16m catamaran, Dual Image, casts off from the Wanaka lakefront for a Ruby Island Cruise & Scenic Walk. Land on a secluded beach as her hydraulic bow ramp delivers guests to the shore for a self-guided walk around the island, an activity suitable for all ages. Find out the island’s intriguing Prohibition Era history, and capture some of the most stunning photos you’ll ever have in Lake Wanaka.

While small, Ruby island is postcard-pretty and has deservedly earned a reputation as the jewel of Wanaka for its eye-catching mix of native and exotic plants that makes a captivating foreground to the colours of the lake and the mountains in the background.
