Isthmus Peak
Looking for an alternative to the Instagram famous Roys Peak, you can’t go past Isthmus Peak. Both are within an easy drive from Wanaka, and maybe the 30-minute extra drive means the Isthmus Peak track is slightly less travelled.
Location: Lake Hawea, South Island
Distance: 16km return via same track.
Average walking time: 5 – 7 hours.
Track: Located off the western side of Lake Hawea.
The track is a vertical climb to the peak
