This is quite possibly the best value and most spectacular luxury fishing charter you will ever find anywhere on the planet. The boat is nothing short of brilliant, it is comfortable, stylish, spacious warm in the winter, sheltered and breezy in the summer and a very very cool vessel.... I want one!!! Davey met us at the pontoon and we... More

Despite a drizzly autumn day, we donned jackets and boarded Adventure Wanaka’s gorgeous, luxurious launch for a Wanaka Adventure! It was fantastic...

We booked a one-hour charter for $180 (for two) and received more than value for money. The whole experience was great. Davey, the operator was extremely friendly and laid back, and made us feel quite at home on his lovely boat. We'd motor a bit, then Davey would cut the engine and relax and describe the views, with plenty of... More

It’s a very comfortable boat even in rough water. You get a good trip up to the island (stunning views all the way up), an informative guided tour, followed... More

After a few days of high winds we were lucky enough to choose an almost still day for our half-day cruise on Lake Wanaka with Davey. The lake was flat calm and the mountains were incredibly clear. The trip was a perfect combination of fast cruising and halts for info on the lake, the mountains, their history and wildlife. By... More

My wife, our eight year old girl and myself had a great time out fishing with Davy who is very friendly and knowledgeable about fishing. We got a rainbow and brown trout and some salmon which made the trip very exiting and enjoyable. Thanks Davy for a memorable time. More

Davie turned up in the most bling bling Trike, Billy Connolly eat your heart out! Like Billy, Davie likes to talk, but has far more decorum!! We had a fun trip around Wanaka, Albert town and Makarora. The Trike commands a lot of attention, its is a hybrid between a motorbike and a car!! Great fun!! More
