NZ's most photographed tree! Easily accessible walk from the waterfront
Further information: The famous Wanaka Tree is a symbol of New Zealand tourism, attracting photographers and Instagrammers from all over! This solitary willow tree stands in the middle of the stunningly beautiful Lake Wanaka, on the South Island of New Zealand. Located conveniently close to Wanaka town, reaching the tree is as easy as following along the lake shore for 15 minutes. Best visited during sunrises or sunsets, the surrounding landscape of mountains, trees, and wildlife provides amazing photo ops for all who come. Home to many adventure activities like skydiving and whitewater rafting, visitors of the tree can also explore hidden pools, glaciers, and the bustling town of Queenstown near-by. No matter what sort of adventure you're after, the Wanaka region has it all!
