Explore a side to Wanaka that most locals have never seen. Go off the main path, discovering private backroads high in the West Wanaka Station mountains. The ideal combination of vast hiking paths, alpine meadows, breathtaking views, and high country farming life.
Your adventure starts with a boat cruise across Lake Wanaka to Mou Waho Island. Take a guided walk to the summit of the predator-free island and discover a secret pristine lake at the top. You will have the chance to help with the reforestation of the island and plant a native tree.
After lunch at a local café in Wanaka, you will begin your 4WD journey along roads seldom travelled. Enjoy the unspoilt views of Lake Wanaka, surrounded by glaciers, river valleys and snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps. The tour is eight and a half hours in summer and seven hours in winter.
