Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Wanaka

I think it's best to take a lesson if you're just starting out. The instructors are awesome and really helped me get more comfortable on my board. You get your money's worth for sure!

I recommend getting your lift passes online before you go... It saved me a good chunk of change and made it super easy to skip the lines! Don't forget to keep an eye out for package deals including rentals too

If you're hitting the slopes in the morning, be sure to arrive around 8:30 AM. That's when you can catch the first gondola, which means less crowd and more fresh powder!

I think it’s best to arrive at least 30 minutes early. The staff are super friendly and can answer questions or give you tips to make the experience even more exciting. I almost skipped this part and would have missed out!

I recommend booking your parasailing session in the morning, like around 9 AM... The winds are usually calmer then, and you'll have the lake to yourself before it gets crowded later in the day

Check if there are any combo deals for parasailing with other activities, like boat rides or jet skiing. I saved a chunk of money that way, and it made for an incredible day on the water!
