WANAKA NEW ZEALAND LAND ACTIVITIES
New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum
Geography is New Zealand's strong point, and probably your main reason for coming here. It's not often that one country can offer so many different kinds of landscape. And the landscapes aren't just for sightseeing. 'Kiwi ingenuity', the national talent for innovation, has created things to do that make the most of the country's natural assets.
To experience the mountains and high country, you can hike, climb, ski (in winter). Thrill-seekers will love the way that bungy, caving, canyoning and rappelling adventures are woven into the wilderness. And for those who prefer to absorb the scenery slowly, there are spectacular golf courses, tempting wine trails and leisurely horse treks.
Snowboarding
Super pipes, rails, boxes, hits and off-trail powder freedom are waiting for you on New Zealand's stunning snowfields.Whether you're a complete novice or a hardened boarder in search of big air, you're welcome on our slopes. Dedicated terrain parks offer a full range of challenges that are sure to test your courage. When you stop to catch your breath, the scenery will completely fill your head.
Experienced snow boarders looking for the ultimate freedom ride should check out the many professional heli-boarding operators. They'll take you to the best pure powder, high up in the mountains.
The lights at Coronet Peak let you ride on into the dark - perfect for a late start after a big night out. Queenstown and Wanaka offer all manner of adrenalin stimulating adventure activities, so you'll find yourself in some great company in this beautiful part of the world.
Skiing
Whether you've never felt snow before or you're permanently in powder, New Zealand offers ski adventures that will keep you begging for "just one more run".
