Roys Peak is a challenging yet rewarding hike near Wanaka, New Zealand, offering stunning views over Lake Wanaka and the surrounding mountains. The track zig-zags up the mountain with a relentless uphill climb of 1,258 meters over 8 kilometers, making it a 16km round hike. The Instagram-famous viewpoint at the top is a must-see, but the true summit is a further 30-minute hike away. With breathtaking landscapes and a moderate to hard difficulty level, Roys Peak is a bucket-list experience for hikers looking for a memorable adventure in the South Island.
