Isthmus Peak Track

#summervacay Isthmus Peak offers an incredible hiking alternative to Roy’s Peak, with fewer crowds and equally jaw-dropping views. The 16-kilometer track climbs steadily between Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea, and summer conditions make it dry and accessible. Once at the summit, you’re rewarded with 360° views over both lakes and the surrounding alpine ranges. It’s a fantastic option for fit travelers looking for solitude and panoramic scenery. With golden grasslands and blue lakes shimmering under the summer sun, the hike is both challenging and deeply rewarding.
