EXPERIENCE

There’s no shortage of ways to get your adrenaline fix in the deep south. That includes climbing alongside Twin Falls (above), one of the world’s highest waterfalls, or jumping, climbing, abseiling and canyoning in Wānaka and Haast Pass. Need more? How about skydiving or taking a breathtaking tandem paraglide flight from Treble Cone mountain to the shores of Lake Wānaka. If you’d prefer something more grounded, take a day walk up Roys Peak Track, for gobsmacking views of the Southern Alps and lakes (right) or the Breast Hill Track (left) which will reward you with views of beautiful Lake Hāwea.
