Tours: Lake Wanaka

Wanaka

Wanaka is located on the southern shores of Lake Wanaka, in west Otago, north of Queenstown. Hemmed in by the Southern Alps, Wanaka is Otago's second resort after Queenstown. The crystal-clear waters of New Zealand's fourth-largest lake reflect the snow-capped peaks of the Mt Aspiring National Park World Heritage Area, whose dominant feature is Mt Aspiring, towering above a magnificent glacier-sculpted wilderness.

In the nearby mountains are internationally rated skifields Cardrona, Treble Cone, the Waiorau Nordic Ski Area, and Harris Mountains Heliskiing - one of the largest operations of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
