Wild Wire
One of the best adventure activities you can do with the kids, Wild Wire is a must while in Wanaka. There are numerous levels to choose from which means everyone can have a go but if you can do the full climb, you will be whisked off the top by helicopter - 'James Bond style'.
Kayaking
Choose from an invigorating, action packed river kayak or a calm tranquil lake trip. Either way you will see Wanaka and surrounds from a different perspective. Head out with a local guide and discover some of Wanaka’s best kept secrets.
4WD Tour
4WD Tour through West Wanaka High Country Station, a working farm with Alpacas, cattle, red deer & sheep. A real kiwi experience with local guides full of local knowledge. Don’t forget your camera as the views are stunning.
Jet Boating
'Jet boat on the longest and most adventurous jet boat tour in NZ' – you can’t get much better than that. Head out on to crystal clear glacial rivers for an adrenalin filled ride followed by a guided walk to see Mt Aspiring and the Glaciers. A great day out for all!
Horse Riding
Horse Riding in the Cardrona Valley. Learn about the historic Gold Rush of the 1860s as you ride through mobs of Merino sheep. Climb to a beautiful vantage point allowing breath-taking views of Mount Cardrona and the Crown Range.
Private Chef
After a busy day out the last thing you want to do is cook, right? We will organise a private chef to cook you and your family a delicious meal, so you can all sit and relax, reminiscing about the amazing day you have had while Mum & Dad sip on a glass of local pinot noir.
Massage
While your private chef cooks up a storm and the kids settle in to watch a movie, why don’t you indulge in a relaxing massage in the comfort of your luxury holiday home. Enjoy some me-time and wind down for the evening.
