The View From Up There

Wanaka sits in the middle of some serious alpine country, and getting airborne here is genuinely worth it. The big ticket is a scenic fixed-wing flight over the Southern Alps, Mt Aspiring, and the glaciers. The reviews back it up, and it's one of those things where the landscape does all the work. If you want something a little more hands-on, U Fly Wanaka lets you actually take the controls over Lake Wanaka and the surrounding peaks, which is pretty cool if you've ever had that itch. Use RANKERS on the scenic flights for 10% off.

For a combo day out, the Siberia Experience out of Makarora is worth knowing about. It's a fly-in, walk, jet boat deal into Mount Aspiring National Park country that you simply can't get to any other way. That's the appeal. Remote, wild, and the flight in sets the tone nicely. RANKERS gets you 10% off that one too.

If skydiving is on your radar, Wanaka is a solid spot for it. The backdrop does most of the heavy lifting. Skydive Wanaka has been doing this for a good while and has the reviews to show for it. Paragliding off Treble Cone is another option that comes up well, with flyers heading out over the lake and towards the ranges.
