Excursions in Wanaka

G'day, adventure seekers! If you're itching to explore the breathtaking beauty of Wanaka, you've come to the right place. Here at Foxiepass, we're all about showing you the best bits of this stunning corner of New Zealand's South Island. So, grab a cuppa and let me tell you about some of the incredible spots we'll take you to on our guided tours.

Lake Wanaka: The Heart of it All

First up, we've got the star of the show – Lake Wanaka itself. This crystal-clear lake is the perfect spot for a bit of everything. Fancy a leisurely stroll along the shoreline? We've got you covered. Or maybe you're keen to get out on the water? No worries! We can arrange kayaking or paddleboarding trips that'll give you a whole new perspective on the surrounding mountains. And let's not forget about that famous Wanaka Tree – it's Instagram gold, I tell ya!

Mount Aspiring National Park: A Hiker's Paradise

For those of you who love to lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails, Mount Aspiring National Park is an absolute must-visit. We've got guided walks ranging from easy-peasy to "crikey, that's a challenge!" Some of our favourite spots include:

• Rob Roy Glacier Track: A stunner of a walk that'll take you right up to a hanging glacier.
• Blue Pools Track: An easy walk to some of the clearest, bluest water you'll ever see.
• Brewster Track: For the more adventurous, this one's a real leg-burner but the views are out of this world!

Trust me, the views in this park will have you picking your jaw up off the ground!

Wanaka Lavender Farm: A Feast for the Senses

Now, if you're after something a bit more relaxed (and wonderfully fragrant), we can't go past the Wanaka Lavender Farm. It's a riot of colour when the lavender's in bloom, and the sweet scent will have you feeling zen in no time. Plus, you can sample some lavender ice cream – it's way tastier than it sounds, I promise!

Rippon Vineyard: Cheers to That View!

Speaking of tasty treats, how about we swing by Rippon Vineyard? Not only do they produce some top-notch wines, but the view from their tasting room is absolutely spectacular. Sipping on a crisp Riesling while gazing out over Lake Wanaka and the Southern Alps? Now that's what I call living the good life!

Wanaka Bike Tours: Pedal Your Way to Adventure

If you're the active type, you'll love our guided bike tours. We've got trails for all skill levels, from easy lakeside rides to more challenging mountain tracks. And the best part? You get to explore at your own pace, with plenty of stops for photos (and to catch your breath – some of those hills are cheeky!).

Puzzling World: A Mind-Bending Experience

Last but not least, we've got to mention Puzzling World. It's a bit left-field, but trust me, it's a barrel of laughs. With optical illusions, maze challenges, and a leaning tower that'll have you questioning gravity, it's the perfect way to give your brain a workout after all that outdoor adventuring.

So there you have it, folks – just a taste of what Wanaka has to offer. Whether you're after heart-pumping adventures, laid-back sightseeing, or anything in between, Foxiepass has got a tour that'll tick all your boxes. So what are you waiting for?
