Things To See and Do In Wanaka
If you're headed to New Zealand's South Island or you're a local resident looking for a vacation spot, you probably have a fair idea of the usual places to spend a week or two.
Christchurch is the ideal spot if you want to do a lot of travelling from its central location, Marlborough is a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy some nature and Queenstown is sought out by thrill seekers as a well-known tourist destination for adventure sports.
One of the lesser-known destinations in the South Island, just north of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu, Wanaka is slowly growing as a key place to be in Otago.
If you're planning a trip down south at anytime of the year, book a stay in Wanaka and check out a few of these things to see and do while you're there.
