Pressed for time and need to get to your next destination?

Our Mou Waho Island Express is the perfect option for those on a budget and tight schedule. This early-morning, water taxi service is shorter than our regular tour, offering a quicker trip to the island, with still the same amount of time on the island.

While you’ll miss the scenic tiki tour with its stories, jokes, and fascinating insights into Wanaka’s history and geology, this trip is ideal if you’re short on time and prefer a more straightforward experience or, if you are a fan of early mornings. For those who like to keep things moving, there are no frills or extra stops—just stunning views and the chance to explore Mou Waho Island before heading to your next adventure.

We depart at 8:30 AM, heading straight to the island to beat the crowds. You’ll have almost 2 hours to explore before we take you back. You’ll be back between 11 am & 11.30am, with more than enough time to continue your day.

Duration: 2.5 – 3 hours
