Wanaka Day Trips, Attractions Tickets

Best Wanaka Day Trips & Attractions Tickets

The present site of Wanaka was first surveyed in 1863. Settlement increased in Pembroke, what the city was formerly called during the 1870s because of timber mining in the Matukituki Valley that used Lake Wanaka for transport. Wanaka is a popular ski and summer resort town in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is primarily a resort town with both summer and winter seasons and is economically based on the many outdoor activities it offers. Some famous sights in Wanaka include; Roys Peak, Puzzling World, Treble Cone Ski Area, Cardrona Alpine Resort, #ThatWanakaTree, Roys Peak Track, Mount Aspiring National Park, Wanaka Lavender Farm, Snow Farm NZ and others.
