Message from Hayley Andersen
The Wanaka Tree, also known as #ThatWanakaTree, is a famous willow tree standing alone in Lake Wanaka, New Zealand. Its stunning mountain backdrop and unique location have made it a popular spot for photographers and Instagrammers. Despite the crowds and occasional chaos, visiting the Wanaka Tree is still worth it for the beautiful photos and the overall experience of being in Wanaka. I recommend visiting at sunrise for best photos.
