Scenic Off-Road Adventures Through Wānaka’s Wild Backcountry
Wanaka 4x4 tours combine the tranquillity of the lake with the thrill of off-road exploration. This unforgettable journey begins at the Wānaka marina, where you’ll board a boat bound for Stevenson’s Arm, a scenic section of the lake framed by glacier-carved mountains. The calm waters and dramatic alpine views set the tone for a day filled with beauty and adventure.
After your lake cruise, you’ll arrive at the base of Mt Burke, where the 4x4 experience kicks into gear.
