What To Expect

Lake Hayes

Your Wanaka day trip begins with a peaceful stop at Lake Hayes — a serene lake just outside Queenstown, often known for its perfect reflections on still mornings. Framed by tussock-covered hills and distant peaks, it’s a favourite among photographers and a calming way to ease into the day. Whether you’d like to pause for a few scenic shots or enjoy a short lakeside stroll, this quiet gem sets a relaxed tone before the journey continues toward Arrowtown and beyond.
