The Wakatipu Lake is super clear, crystal and beautiful! There are some amazing hotels along the lake. Cuz the lake is quite big, so there is water taxi for visitors to view the whole Wakatipu Lake easily. Also, there are so many water activities you can do, such as kayaking, jetboat and so on. What a great place!
Longest lake in NZ, located in South Island next to Queenstown, which is on the north shore of the lake close to eastern end of its mid section.
Love the willows by The lake and the Earnslaw Ferry which give a nice view of Queenstown and Wakapitu Lake. The lake area near Glenorchy is pretty too with more mountain view.
Gorgeous glacial lake and a must if you love nature.
Absolutely beautiful. Take some time to walk around the lake and appreciate how magnificent your surroundings are!
The lake is beautiful, especially with reflections of the mountains..worth a drive to Glenorchy along the lakes edge
Stunning lake so picturesque
Beautiful lake, stunning view wherever you look.
Lake Wakatipu is the second largest lake in the Southern Lakes District, covering 290 square km.Lake Wakatipu is five kilometers wide at its widest, and the total length is 84km. During the last ice age, a huge glacier moving from the north west carved out what is now Lake Wakatipu.
很美的湖，就算一直静静看着，也不会觉得闷。如果遇上好天气，景色应该更美。
