Wanaka Attractions, New Zealand

Wanaka, a resort town on New Zealand's South Island, is located at the southern end of it's namesake lake and is surrounded by snow capped mountains in the winter months.

Wanaka is the gateway to the Southern Alps' Mount Aspiring National Park - a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests and alpine lakes.

Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are close neighbours to the National Park.

A short distance from the town is the outdoor maze and sculpture gallery of Puzzling World.

Strap yourself to a beautiful stranger in the best place to skydive in NZ.

4WD & Off Road

You'll just need to decide if you want to ride a horse, a quad bike or sit back and relax in a 4WD vehicle.

Get off the beaten track with a private 4WD journey into the iconic high country.

Backcountry Saddles is one of the longest standing horse trekking operations in New Zealand. They use Appaloosa horses (a mountain bred horse) to cope with the conditions of the Cardrona Valley.
