Roys Peak is hands down the most famous and beautiful hikes in the Wānaka. It's a popular mid-day hike but over the years it's also become a popular sunrise and sunset hike.
We've done it a few times now and can recommend waking up in the early hours of the day to hike up for sunrise. You'll take in one of the most stunning views from the top of Roys Peak and get to experience the sun rising over the horizon first thing in the morning while having the view of Lake Wānaka as well.
