Lake Wakatipu
Queenstown’s Scenic Lake
Lake Wakatipu is New Zealand’s third-largest lake and a jewel of the South Island, located in the stunning Queenstown-Lakes District. Renowned for its unique S-shaped form, the lake spans 80 kilometers and is surrounded by dramatic mountain ranges, including The Remarkables. Its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery make it a favorite destination for adventure and relaxation.
Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, including kayaking, jet boating, and scenic cruises on the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship. The lake’s natural “heartbeat,” a rhythmic rise and fall of its water level every 25 minutes, adds a touch of mystery. With its outdoor adventures and tranquil beauty, Lake Wakatipu offers an unforgettable experience for all.
