Location
Wanaka is located on the southern shores
of Lake Wanaka, in west Otago, north of Queenstown.
Lake Wanaka
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.
Main Attractions/Activities
The highlight of the
attractions at Wanaka is the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum at Skyshow
Centre, with the largest collection of airworthy World War Two fighters in
the Southern Hemisphere. These 'old warbirds' take to the skies every
other Easter, attracting admirers from far and wide. Mt Aspiring National
Park is renowned for fishing, climbing and hiking, including possibly the
best collection of half-day walks in the country.
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.
