The tour is packed in one day. Very reasonable and worth the price. Our tour guide Andy is a safe driver, good at communicating and was also very generous in stopping at other beautiful spots apart from listed itinerary to take some shots. highly recommended.

Amazing choice—couldn’t recommend it more. Loved every stop on the tour, and the guide was both entertaining and informative throughout.

Jim is incredibly enthusiastic about service, proactively looking after every member of the group. Everyone looks like a beauty or a handsome person in his photos. He's humorous and friendly. The trip was very enjoyable, Jim gets 100 points!

I have to say, my first experience with live-fire shooting was really thrilling. It's suitable for all ages and genders — we all had a great time.

The experience was absolutely amazing. The instructors and camera flyers were professional, supportive, and made us feel completely safe throughout the jump.

The Great Maze was challenging indeed and so much fun! Redemption was quite easy as well - just go to counter and show them your booking/QR Code!

We were met on time at the agreed location, driven to the 'drop off', fitted with helmets and bikes, given instructions on what to look for along the path. We hired ebikes (Bruno & Bennie) for the Hāwea & Wānaka 30km Trail (Grade 1-2 Family friendly). I would say 98% was down hill. We were told there was some tree works happening along the track, so we were met by Roger who then loaded our bikes & dropped us 2kms further down the track. We also stopped for pies at the Patisserie. We arrived in Wanaka with plenty of time to spare (& battery still avail on the bike). Great communication and team work by all the staff.

What to know before visiting Wanaka
What Wanaka is best for
Wanaka is known for Outdoor & sports activities first, followed by Museums, Tours and Water activities, and that pattern shapes the year. Klook booking data shows a clear seasonality: demand builds through autumn into a single busy month in May, then falls into a very quiet August. If you like hiking, scenic outdoor pursuits and a quiet lakeside town outside peak periods, Wanaka delivers. For museum visits and guided Tours, plan around the busier months. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter outdoors time — Klook booking data helps you choose the month that matches your travel style.
When to go and what prices do
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in May and is at its quietest in August. Prices move differently: the priciest month is August while November is typically the cheapest, so crowd levels and prices diverge — high prices can coincide with low demand and vice versa. For lower prices and smaller crowds, travel in November or December; for peak-season atmosphere, target May but expect busier booking patterns. Choose quieter months for savings and late-season light; pick May for livelier outdoor activity and events on Klook.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | HKD 780 |
| February | Busier than usual | HKD 686 |
| March | Busier than usual | HKD 788 |
| April | Busier than usual | HKD 702 |
| May | Peak demand | HKD 803 |
| June | About average | HKD 678 |
| July | About average | HKD 780 |
| August | Very quiet | HKD 1,840 |
| September | Quieter than usual | HKD 1,754 |
| October | Quieter than usual | HKD 788 |
| November | Quieter than usual | HKD 663 |
| December | About average | HKD 663 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers from Hong Kong book a bit ahead — on average about 12 days ahead — and the earliest planners lock things in around 32 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can often be flexible and book a day or two before travel, but for May (the peak month) and for popular outdoor activities it's wise to reserve sooner. If you prefer lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for November or December and secure tickets on Klook a couple of weeks ahead. Booking via Klook gives you convenient choice and the ability to compare typical prices and dates from past bookings.
