Wanaka Guided Garden Tours
2022-2023 Season!
Born out of the COVID-19 lockdown, tourism business “Beautiful Gardens of Wānaka” is now fully on board with its first year of unlocked overseas visitors. We are ready to flourish!
Each guided garden tour offers an eclectic mix of lovingly tended gardens to small groups of visitors or locals alike. “We see customers from keen gardeners, new-to-town residents starting their garden, visiting relatives, club excursions, farmers or just people curious to look for hidden gems beyond the fence.”
ADMIRE – LEARN – APPRECIATE
Daily departures, from 2 to 4 gardens per tour, each day a variety of outstanding local private gardens, transport, refreshments, informative narrative included.
Hearing garden stories and how-to garden knowledge is inspiring and a great way to learn what grows in the Upper Clutha climate in a relaxing memorable half-day outing.
“I enjoyed the variety of gardens we visited, I’ve learned something in each of them” said a client after a tour

This garden and nature experience brings joy to customers, the guide (lucky me!) and the gardeners themselves. They are happy to share their work and artistic creations. For some gardeners, it is their third year in the scheme. They too are refining their gardens to ensure each season offers something new and beautiful. They receive a contribution per visitor.
A social entreprise run sustainably, this inventive operation enriches the tourism attractions on offer in Wānaka. “We are putting into practice the 2030 Regenerative tourism strategy adopted by LWT, DQ and QLDC.”
