數千年前由兩座巨大冰川創造的瓦納卡湖，凝聚了紐西蘭的原始美感，清澈的湖面波光粼粼，遠岸山景極致迷人。
這個度假勝地以其美麗、和平與安寧而享有國際聲譽，深得世界各地遊人喜愛。
瓦納卡湖是世界上最優美的徒步越野及遠足勝地之一，蘊藏了許多適合作半日遠足的清幽路線，還是通往阿斯帕林山國家公園世界遺產（Mt. Aspiring National Park World Heritage）地區的途徑之一。
瓦納卡景色如畫，一年四季皆可參與各種多姿多彩的活動。夏季的戶外活動包括釣魚、滑水、高爾夫球、品酒、越野單車、騎馬觀光和滑翔風箏。冬季的瓦納卡則是滑雪愛好者熱門度假勝地，由此前往附近的三錐山（Treble Cone）、卡德羅納高山度假村（Cardrona）、冰雪農場（Snow Farm）和冰雪公園（Snow Park），以及稍遠些的皇冠峰（Coronet Peak）、皇后鎮卓越山（Remarkables in Queenstown）等滑雪場都十分容易。
在崎嶇壯闊的阿斯帕林山國家公園中，打獵、釣魚、徒步越野及登山均是四季皆宜的活動。
