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 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.

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.

We had a wonderful experience! They went out of their way to make special arrangements so our trip could still continue, especially since it was a special anniversary getaway for us. We truly appreciate their efforts. Bella was very accommodating and helpful throughout the process. Ryan was attentive and made sure to provide us with all the necessary information about the tour. Both made the experience smooth and enjoyable. We really enjoyed the trip and are grateful for their excellent service. Highly recommended! ❤️

What to know before visiting Wanaka

Wanaka at a glance

Wanaka is best known for Outdoor & sports activities, followed by Museums, Tours and Water activities, according to Klook booking data. The year has a clear rhythm: demand builds through autumn and spring to a peak in May, while late winter in August is much quieter. If you favour hiking, scenic outdoor days and active experiences, plan around the busier months for atmosphere; if you prefer fewer crowds at museums and tours, consider the quieter shoulder months. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or quieter days — Klook booking data can help time bookings accordingly.

Best months to visit Wanaka

Demand on Klook peaks in May and drops to its lowest in August, while prices behave differently: the priciest month by bookings was August, and the cheapest was November, so crowds and prices don't always move together. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider November or the quieter shoulder months; for lively outdoor activity and the peak-season atmosphere, May is the month to target. Klook booking data shows these patterns and typical prices below.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average PHP 5,946
February Busier than usual PHP 5,233
March Busier than usual PHP 6,006

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book in advance — Klook data shows bookings typically made about 12 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 32 days out. Treat this as a planning market: lock in high-demand outdoor activities and popular tour dates sooner, especially in May when demand peaks. Last-minute options are still available—Klook shows some experiences bookable 2 days ahead—but for the best choice on dates and times, plan and reserve on Klook ahead of your trip. Booking in advance on Klook helps secure the experiences you want during busy months.
