WANAKA ACTIVITIES

On the land ... 

Skiing, heli-skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, rock climbing, wine tours, golf, golf-cross, mountain biking and heli-mountain biking, horse riding, monster trucks, quad bike and 4wd safaris, wilderness tours, transport museum, Puzzling World, hunting. Wanaka Homestead is also close to Wanaka's 18-hole Golf Course (1km) and picturesque Rippon Winery and Vineyards (1km).
Walking / tramping is world class with trails for every ability in both Wanaka and the nearby Mt Aspiring National Park. A rewarding walk to the top of Roy’s Peak (1587m) commences just six kilometres from town, with stunning alpine panoramas rewarding those who brave the three hour ascent.

In the air ... 

Scenic flights, tandem skydiving from 15,000 feet, heli-sightseeing, helicopter fishing, tandem paragliding (parapenting), Warbirds museum, and flights in a Czech albatross jet fighter. Pick of the bunch is the scenic flight to Milford Sound: departing from Wanaka airport after breakfast , this flight literally passes through true "Lord of the Rings" scenery prior to landing at Milford Sound. The fiord cruise is stunning and the return flight to Wanaka will have you home in time for dinner.

On the water ... 

Fly-fishing, boat fishing, lake cruises, jet boating, canyoning, white water rafting, white water sledging, boat dinghy and yacht charters, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing and two jet boating adventures to rival any in New Zealand.
