South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷
Promo code RANKERS - good deal done!
The Wanaka Region is one of those places where getting airborne genuinely changes your understanding of the landscape. The Southern Alps, Mt Aspiring, glaciers, the sprawl of lakes below - it's a different thing entirely from up there. Scenic helicopter flights out of Wanaka are well worth it, and there's a promo code RANKERS for 10% off which takes the edge off nicely on what is already a pretty special experience.
If you want to combine a flight with something on the ground, the Siberia Wilderness Adventure out of Makarora does exactly that - fly in, walk through some seriously remote country, then jet boat out. It's a proper wilderness day and the kind of thing that's hard to replicate elsewhere. The area around here has largely escaped the algorithm, so the crowds are not what you'll find on Roys Peak.
