All you’ll need is active clothing, a mobile phone, sunscreen and other sun protection, a water bottle, and maybe your camera. You might also want to bring a snack as there are some fantastic places for picnics. The Operator will provide all safety equipment and a dry bag for your phone.

This trip is an awesome way to explore deeper into the lake and includes one-way transport. You’ll either start at the lakefront and head out into the lake, where the crew will pick you up from several locations, or they will drive you out to a location where you’ll paddle back to the lakefront.

You’ll be paddling unsupervised so it’s a good idea to be fairly confident on the water, but you don’t need to have had much previous kayaking experience. You can paddle a wee way and picnic for 3 hours, or you can live out your Captain Cook fantasies and explore the vast coastline of Lake Wanaka. How far you go is up to you! All you’ll need to keep the crew updated while you are on the water.

The Operator tries their hardest to get everybody enjoying the water and has many products to suit all kinds of needs and abilities. Give them a call, and they can chat through the different options they have to suit you.
