Water Taxi Service
The water-taxi, Ida Clair cuts an impressive sway through Australia’s deepest freshwater lake etched by age old glaciers. A final floating haven for tired walkers finishing the Overland Track, the boat ride promises a warm bed at the end of 6 or so arduous days experiencing a World Heritage Area like no other. If you’re not up to the lofty heights of the track, you can still cruise to many equally inspiring destinations.
