Welcome to the jewel of Wanaka. Ruby Island is a paradise just waiting to be discovered. With mountain&nbsp;views behind you&nbsp;and vistas of Lake Wanaka in front, your adventure here will be one you&#39;ll never forget.&nbsp; 
 
Your trip starts at the Wanaka lakefront, where you&#39;ll board the luxury 16 m catamaran and begin your cruise out to the island. 
 
Pulling into a secluded beach once you arrive, you&#39;ll be in awe of the wild beauty and nature that awaits. 
 
Your walk here is self-guided, meaning you can take your time exploring and wandering the island&#39;s length. There are exotic and native plants to discover, lake views to photograph and mountains to take in...&nbsp;Ruby Island is also home to some&nbsp;intriguing history dating back to the days of prohibition. 
 
There&#39;ll be plenty of photo opportunities on your journey, so make sure that camera is fully charged!&nbsp; 
 
The Island walk takes 20 minutes and rises 20 metres above the beach on an average track. It&#39;s advised&nbsp;you&#39;ll need an average level of fitness and mobility&nbsp;for this experience, but you can remain on the boat or&nbsp;at the beach on the island if you prefer! You&#39;re also able to complete just a section of the walk. 
 
This is a 1-hour trip, departing at 1 pm.&nbsp; 
Please wear rugged soled outdoor shoes or boots with a good tread for grip.&nbsp;
