Full description

Hire a kayak or paddleboard directly from our beach rental van in Roys Bay and discover the beauty of Lake Wānaka your way. With 1, 2, or 3-hour hire options, you can choose the perfect adventure to match your time and energy.

A 1-hour paddle is great for checking out local highlights like the famous #thatwanakatree, Eely Point, or Waterfall Creek—each just a short, scenic paddle away. If you’ve got more time, a 2-hour rental lets you venture further, with Ruby Island being a favourite spot to stop for a swim or a relaxed lakeside picnic. Want to soak up even more time on the water? Our 3-hour hire gives you the freedom to cruise the shoreline and find your own hidden gems around the bay.

No need to book ahead—just come down, and our friendly waterfront crew will get you set up with all the gear, safety info, and local tips you need for a fun, safe, and unforgettable time on the lake.
