As late spring transitions into summer in Lake Wanaka, New Zealand, the lakeside bursts into vibrant greenery, with lupins beginning to bloom in delicate splashes of colour. A brisk breeze dances through the air, adding a touch of vitality to the day. This tour begins in the heart of Wanaka town, leading next to Hook Wanaka—a charming salmon farm and restaurant where you can savour the freshest "lake-to-plate" delights. The journey concludes at the iconic Wanaka Tree, the famous lone tree standing gracefully in the lake. Today, it’s a lively scene, with tourist buses arriving and the area bustling with visitors.

Wānaka, a picturesque town on New Zealand’s South Island, is located at the southern end of Lake Wānaka and surrounded by the breathtaking Southern Alps. Only 1 hour drive from Queenstown, Wanaka is a popular ski and summer resort town in the Otago region of South Island New Zealand. The town is home to about 12,500 residents, though its population grows significantly during peak tourist seasons due to its popularity as a holiday destination​.

Known for its distinct seasons, Wānaka experiences warm summers and crisp, snowy winters, making it ideal for outdoor activities year-round. In summer, the town is a hub for hiking, mountain biking, and water sports on Lake Wānaka. In winter, nearby ski resorts such as Treble Cone and Cardrona offer world-class skiing and snowboarding​.

A unique local attraction is the famous "Wānaka Tree," a lone willow growing in the lake, which has become an iconic photography subject. Nearby, Mou Waho Island offers a nature reserve with rare bird species and a hidden lake​.

With its pristine environment and a blend of adventure and relaxation opportunities, Wānaka is a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts, thrill-seekers, and those seeking serenity alike.​
