Wanaka Activities
You might think we’d be biased, but in all honesty all you really need is 3-4 days to see Wanaka properly. If you do nothing more than a round of golf followed by sitting on the lake shore reading a book it will be three of the most wonderful days of your holiday!
If you want to get a bit more adventurous and walk the Rob Roy Glacier track (3.5hrs return) or take a scenic flight into Milford Sound, you’ll be telling people that was the best short walk/scenic flight you’ve ever done. But don’t take our word for it- see our testimonials.
