About Lakeland Adventures Wanaka
Lakeland Adventures Wanaka is a locally owned water sports and adventure company operating from the prime waterfront position at 100 Ardmore Street. With direct lake access and a fleet that spans motorised and human-powered craft, they offer the widest range of on-water experiences in the Wanaka region — from adrenaline-pumping jet boat rides to leisurely kayak paddles at sunset.
Their flagship experiences include jet boat rides on Lake Wanaka and down the Clutha River, guided jet ski tours exploring hidden bays and alpine scenery, power boat rentals for self-guided lake cruising, kayak and paddleboard hire, and the popular aqua bike — a unique pedal-powered watercraft ideal for families. Group packages and school programmes round out their offering, making them a one-stop shop for any water-based activity on the lake.
Lakeland's strength lies in the sheer variety under one roof — visitors can combine a high-speed jet boat blast with a tranquil afternoon paddle without leaving the waterfront. The team's deep local knowledge of Lake Wanaka's conditions and hidden gems ensures every trip, whether guided or self-directed, delivers an authentic Southern Lakes experience.
