This is an ideal time for hiking, as the trails are accessible and the views are nothing short of spectacular. Activities such as kayaking on Lake Wanaka or taking scenic helicopter rides can truly elevate your experience, allowing you to appreciate the region's natural beauty from unique perspectives. > > > For those who prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting in June. While the weather is cooler, averaging around 10 degrees Celsius, this month offers opportunities for winter sports and a chance to witness the serene beauty of the region blanketed in snow. Plus, with fewer tourists, it can feel like you have the stunning landscapes all to yourself, allowing for a more intimate adventure. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Makarora hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Makarora hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
