Lake Wānaka

#fallishere Lake Wanaka in Autumn is spectacular. Wānaka is a beautiful destination in New Zealand's South Island. To fully enjoy it, simply bring a sandwich and sit on the grass by the lake – it's a serene way to appreciate life. “That Wanaka Tree” is a viral tree 😂 The tree itself is quite busy even in autumn so be prepared to wait for a photo. There are no charges but also no seating near the tree. The landscape surrounding it seems to make it even more special. Wanaka is beautiful as an overall.

The team at Paddle Wanaka are easy to deal with and can cater to your needs whether it be a guided tour or you simply want to do your own thing. We highly recommend doing The Tiki Tour if you’re keen to do a guided tour and learn about the area. Depending on the wind direction, you will either paddle from the lakeshore and at the end be picked up by boat, or travel out to your start point by boat and paddle back to the lakeshore. The safety briefing before you set off is very thorough and you’re in safe hands. Our guide Austin was really knowledgeable and we enjoyed the stories he told us about Bull Island and Ruby Island, he shared several Maori legends with us as well. The information about Lake Wanaka and other lakes and rivers in the region was also interesting. We had an afternoon tea stop on Ruby Island before heading back to the lakeshore. The Tiki Tour is definitely worth doing. Thanks Austin and Chris for a great afternoon on the lake. #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

This picturesque tree that lives in the wanaka lake in New Zealand is always worth taking a picture of!

Relative to the prosperity of Queenstown, I prefer Wanaka's peace and quiet. It is hidden between Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea and the Southern Alps. It is a dream town like a paradise. Walking in the windy and sunny days, strolling along the pebble beach, listening to the lake's sloppy, deciduous sand, even doing nothing, looking at the lonely tree in a daze, is a pleasant thing. Wanaka is the place I have been most obsessed with, because in addition to completely letting go of my own self, listening to the voice of my heart, I also understand that doing nothing can be so justified, people can not help but be drunk in time.

Lake Wanaka is geographically located in the Otago region of the South Island, a glacially formed lake, and is the fourth largest lake in New Zealand. It is especially beautiful under the sunset! Even if you do nothing by the lakeside, just sitting quietly and zoning out can make you feel incredibly relaxed and at ease. Perhaps this is the magical power bestowed by the beauty of nature.

#fallishere Wanaka is a great place to visit and the scenery around it is breathtaking! Every season the place looks different, Autumn is my favourite!! On the shore of Lake Wanaka, you can sit on the lawn by the lake, enjoy the reflection of the lake, listen to the chirping of birds, and feel the tranquility of nature. We had some great walks around Lake Wanaka, allowing us to get up close and personal with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. We waked along the lakeside trails to enjoy the perfect combination of lake and mountains. The board is pretty and an easy walk. The has good playground for kids. There are picnic tables, beautiful clear water, amazing scenery and plenty of room to park.

Actually, our life is like a journey. It's not about the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood of enjoying the scenery. Let your soul travel! April, we in the northern hemisphere are busy chasing spring, while in New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, the rich green fades away and is replaced by golden autumn attire~ If God created the four seasons because He saw the joy and sorrow of the Earth, then in New Zealand's southern hemisphere, every April, God seems to have favored it with a lot of happiness! In April, New Zealand will enter its most beautiful and dazzling season~ New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere, so March, April, and May are defined as autumn months; New Zealand has a very high vegetation coverage, with a wide variety of plant species. In autumn, many deciduous plants put on light green, light yellow, golden, orange, deep red, and even purple autumn clothes. In New Zealand, there is no such thing as "photo cheating", and even professional cameras or Photoshop are not necessary. With just a phone, you can take stunning photos that will amaze your friends. In autumn, when you come to New Zealand, you must visit Arrowtown. Starting from Queenstown and heading north, Arrowtown is famous for its golden autumn. In late autumn, the mountains are covered with fiery red leaves, which are extremely splendid. Every year in April and May, the leaves of deciduous trees become colorful and brilliant. In the tranquil small town, there are high-end wineries, delicious specialty restaurants, coffee shops, and art salons. The local area also holds an "Autumn Carnival"! In autumn, walking in the town, you can see colorful leaves, like a poem and a painting. If Arrowtown is a dreamy fairy tale world, then Queenstown can be said to be a well-deserved paradise on earth. In Queenstown in April, towering poplar trees line the road, their leaves of bright red and golden yellow creating a colorful scene like a beautiful oil painting by Monet. The colors are gorgeous, the atmosphere peaceful and serene, and no amount of fancy words can fully describe its beauty. The scenery of Wanaka Lake in autumn is like a beautiful oil painting. The best time to see the autumn colors in Wanaka is late April. That Wanaka Tree and the tree park behind it are typical spots. At sunrise and sunset, the lakeside is crowded with all kinds of tripods and long lenses, and the bustling crowds make the waves of Lake Wanaka restless. The town of Gretna Green in heaven is one of the filming locations of "The Lord of the Rings" and a place not to be missed for autumn colors. Here, you will feel like you are in a fairy tale. Here is the open Dat River Beach. There are no human traces, only blue sky, mountains, forests and flowing water. Everything is primitive, as if time and space have crossed, and you have come to the scenes of movies like "The Lord of the Rings", immersed in medieval scenes. From April to May is the season with the purest sky in New Zealand. You will see stars shining like crystal in the dark night sky, sparkling and clear. It feels like heaven is within reach. From Tikapo to Lake Pukaki, to Tekapo and Omarama, this area is called the Mackenzie region, and the most famous of course is the "Star Town" Tikapo. Many golden autumn trees on the shore of Lake Tikapo are reflected in the lake, dyeing the water and sky golden. Without the hustle and bustle of big cities, the garden city of Christchurch, adorned with cultural atmosphere and autumn mood, will be the best destination for your trip. Christchurch's Hagley Park boasts a multitude of colorful trees in autumn, from yellow and orange to red and even purple, which is truly breathtaking! God must have bestowed special favor upon New Zealand, always receiving the best gifts from nature. This April, going to New Zealand, be "careful"~ Once you're not careful, you'll fall in love with it and not want to come back!!!

Known as the “lone tree of Lake Wānaka,” it is said to be one of the most photographed trees in #2023travelwish #awesomepic New Zealand. However, you still need to have the inside scoop to find it, as there are no signs directing people to the solitary tree. It’s just enough off of the beaten path to not be bothered by too many tourists unless they’ve done their research. Walking along the lake to find the lone tree is a beautiful sight. When you arrive, you’ll find beach access on the shore just a stone’s throw away from the tree, the perfect place to have a picnic and watch the sun set or rise. If you can stand the cold but refreshing water of Lake Wānaka, swimming is a great way to awaken the senses. The lone tree is right at the foothills of Mount Aspiring National Park, a World Heritage Site, acting as a doorway into even more of the breathtaking landscapes that embody the South Island of New Zealand. Try visiting when the sun is low on the horizon and there’s an abundance of colorful low light, rather than the view being bleached out by the midday sun. At this time of day you’re also more likely to find the lone tree of Lake Wānaka, all alone. Anytime of the day visit you will have different picturesque views at the back of the tree, especially during the sun rises and sets.

Fabulous lake with everything around it to make your stay memorable. Great shops and cafes right across the road and everything seems to revolve around the lake itself. Nice areas for sunbathing. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
