Fly South / Launch point

Wānaka

Wānaka has an easy lakeside energy with serious mountains waiting just beyond town. Cafés, beaches and the famous lone tree make it immediately likeable, but the western horizon keeps calling you onward. It feels relaxed without ever being boring.

About Wānaka

Quieter and more low-key than Queenstown, its near neighbour across the mountains, Wānaka is close to the Cardrona and Treble Cone ski fields and the quirky Puzzling World attraction. In Fly South, Wānaka is an easy place to love from above: trace the lake's curved shoreline, spot the roads threading the basin, and turn west toward the peaks, where the tidy townscape quickly gives way to a much bigger wilderness.
