Wanaka 4x4 Explorer

Please contact us for group bookings over 5. (only up to 5 are bookable online)

Wanaka 4x4 Explorer offers you the ultimate lake and mountain adventure. The dramatic glacial calved basin filled with the melt water from seasonal snows and ancient glaciers is the backdrop to your adventure with us.

Boat through the calm waters of Stevenson's arm, a constantly changing vista of steep walls and jagged peaks leads to a small beach where you will disembark to board our 4x4 vehicle. Climbing above the lake your view expands until all of Lake Wanaka lays beneath you in a stunning panorama of sparkling blue water and rows of rugged alpine peaks.

Take some time to enjoy the solitude and enjoy the best view in Wanaka! Your guide will give you an insight into the history of the farm station and the geology of the alps and some of the stories of the early settlers who sought farm land, gold and a better life here in the mountains of New Zealand.
