What to do in Wanaka

The freedom to do your own thing, away from the crowds, with breathtaking lakes and mountains as your playground. We love our lifestyle. We know you’ll love it too.

A year-round destination set against the pristine alpine backdrop of Mount Aspiring National Park, you can still discover that totally relaxed Kiwi way of life at Lake Wanaka.

Wanaka has some unique attractions that are not to be missed. So if the weather is a bit inclement then there's always something for you to do inside.Cinema Paradiso is world famous for its intermission with hot cookies and homemade ice cream, while Puzzling World is challenging for both young and old. The Transport and Toy Museum has one of the largest private collections of toys and vehicles, while next door the NZ Fighter Pilots Museum is a poignant reminder of our former heroes. Have a Shot is a chance to take aim and test your accuracy while Cardrona Adventure Park will test your driving skills and BaseCamp your climbing skills.
