Roys Peak Track

Amazing walks and views over the lake from the very top, now one of the Great Walks of New Zealand. Classified as a hard day walk, but well worth the effort!

National Transport and Toy Museum

Very interesting and huge collection of classic vehicles and also aircraft, housed across several huge hangars. It has to be seen to be believed, especially in a small town such as Wanaka! Iconic in New Zealand and now a source of film props for movie makers sourcing classic and vintage vehicles.
