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.

Working Sheep Dog Demonstration

The Central Otago working collie dogs along with their Shepherds have been a very important part of the fine Merino Wool Industry for 130 years, the product that your fine merino wool garments are made of.

We can arrange for you, an experience not to be forgotten, close up, sheep dog handling. Get to talk to a shepard that has a life time experience in the Central Otago highcountry. Click here for details

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.
