Located in the beautiful alps of the South Island of New Zealand, tranquil Lake Wanaka is nestled below magnificent mountains. The  area offers many crystal clear lakes and towering mountains and is in close proximity to Mt Aspiring National Park, making it the ultimate base for outdoor activities. Winter offers a wonderland for snow sports in the area including downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and heli-skiing. Activities that can be enjoyed year round include hiking, boating, fishing, and climbing. Swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and cycling are great activities from late spring to early fall. And the airport offers a variety of sightseeing activities including flight seeing and helicopter hikes.

But Wanaka is not just for outdoor enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies, there is also plenty to do in its lakeside town. You can be pampered in fine lodges, dine in a great selection of cafes and restaurants, or stroll through interesting shops, boutiques and galleries. Or choose to just sit back and relax with views of the shimmering lake and awe inspiring scenery.
