Roy's Peak is by far the most spectacular view in Wanaka. Allow 3.5 hours casual walking one way. If you are a hiker it will take you around 2.5 - 3 hours . I personally recommend taking walking poles! It can be tough on the knees coming down ;)

Hook is a gorgeous place to visit. Enjoy some fresh salmon, a drink or a pizza. The highlight is renting a rod and fishing for your own salmon. There is hours of entertainment here, and they will smoke your salmon or slice it fresh however you like!

Warm Clothes in Winter

Winter in Wanaka is cold. If you come from a warmer climate, we recommend you purchase a goose down puffer jacket that will keep you warm outside. A beanie and gloves are also helpful so you can still enjoy a walk outside during the day.
