THE ONE TOUR
Wanaka has plenty of stories to tell and the rugged Land Rovers of Ridgeline Adventures can take you on a spirited journey along farm tracks that wind high into the tussock-grass hills above Lake Wanaka. Along the way, you ll get the inside story on Wanaka s transformation from Maori settlement to pioneering sheep town to ski mecca, and what happened when Shania Twain came to town and snapped up one of New Zealand s iconic sheep stations.
