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.

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.

It was absolutely incredible! Booking on Klook was super seamless. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the transport was perfectly on time, and every activity exceeded my expectations. It was definitely worth every cent. I highly recommend it to everyone!

What to know before visiting Wanaka

Wanaka at a glance

Wanaka is best known for Outdoor & sports activities, followed by Museums and Tours, with seasonal shifts through the year shaping what’s on offer. Klook booking data show Outdoor & sports activities lead bookings, and demand rises into late autumn: May is the busiest month while August is the quietest. That rhythm means travellers can chase lively alpine and outdoor experiences in the peak season or expect much smaller crowds and a quieter pace in winter. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or peaceful low-season days. Based on Klook booking data.

Best months to visit Wanaka

Demand on Klook climbs toward May, which records the strongest uplift in bookings, while August is noticeably quieter and sees the lowest demand. Prices, however, don’t track demand exactly: the priciest month by bookings is August when typical paid prices are highest, while November shows the lowest typical price — so low demand and high prices diverge in places. For smaller crowds and generally lower prices choose November or October; for atmosphere and the busiest activity scene choose May.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Travellers from Malaysia tend to plan ahead on Klook and typically book around 12 days ahead, with the earliest planners reserving activities about 32 days out. That makes Wanaka fairly a planning destination — lock in must-do outdoor activities earlier, especially for the busy May period, while quieter months give more flexibility. Many experiences can still be booked close to travel, with two days a practical last-minute window for some options. Book on Klook to secure preferred dates and times, and check typical pricing and demand trends before you finalise plans.
