Sorry to hear that you couldn’t hike it. I hope you can visit again soon and have another chance to see these gorgeous views 🙂

Hi Amy, it really is a hikers paradise 🙂 I would love to go hiking in Croatia as well, it’s still on my list!

Hi Josy! It’s great that you didn’t have to queue for a picture. When we were there it got crazy crowded as we were heading back. I did not have time for Isthmus Peak – actually, it was either Roys Peak or Isthmus Peak for us due to time constraints. As far as I know, the views from Isthmus Peak are similar but the hike itself is much less crowded, so I will definitely try it out next time I am in Wanaka 🙂

Thanks! The views are worth it for sure 🙂

We did this hike too (and loved it!) But it was easily the busiest hike we did in NZ. I had know idea it was famous before we arrived. We were just climbing it to take photos for my mums friend Roy who had always wanted to see the view, but was too old to climb up himself. I was totally in love with the views so I can see why it is popular!

We started later than you at 5:45am. That worked out pretty well. All the 3am hikers were finishing, so there were not *quite* as many people there. We had the peak all to ourselves.

p.s. The other one I really fancied in this area was Isthmus Peak. Hopefully that would be less busy for next time!?

Having climbed 3 peaks over 1200m over 2 days in Croatia a couple.of years ago, I remember the steep climb down. It unnerved me a few times. But the views do make it worth it. This is beautiful.

Unfortunately I was too ill when I was in Wanaka to do it, but I loved the shots of it. I can’t wait to go back and follow in your footsteps!
