Roys Peak - Wanaka New Zealand: Kinda Difficult Hike

If you're hiking Roys Peak near Wanaka in New Zealand, you should know the track difficulty can be moderate to high if not done in winter or early for sunrise.

This is because the hike doesn't have much shade, so if you don't start early, or are hiking in the summer, it's going to be hot. We found this out the hard way, but certainly don't regret the climb - the views from atop are astounding and worth the effort.

Hope you enjoyed the video and it was helpful!

Roy's Peak 3am hike! New Zealand

Roy's Peak Sunrise Hike in Wanaka New Zealand!

When I knew we were going to come to New Zealand I wanted to do this hike. It is a 6 hr round trip hike. We had the great idea that we would wake up at 3am and start the hike around 4am and hopefully get there by sunrise at 7:30am.
Well lucky for us we arrived at 5:30am and although I was freezing we got some incredible star photography and saw every part of the sunrise from the top.

Seth went into military mode and started with a strict pace. After realizing I wouldn't make it, he taught me lots of tips about how to not use as much energy and I did a bit better.

If you're going to do the hike, give yourself 1.5hrs - 3 hrs to get to the spot where we stopped in the photo, an extra 30 min if you want to go all the way to the top!
Bring warm clothing, or know you wont stop hiking until the sun rises!
Take lots of photos but also just sit and enjoy the fruits of your labor!!

This hike is very popular and there will be tons of people up there, enjoy it with them!

ROY'S PEAK HIKE | Wanaka New Zealand | Will Wanders Travel Vlog

ROY'S PEAK HIKE | Wanaka New Zealand | Will Wanders Travel Vlog

Roy's Peak Hike is not for the feint hearted. If you're wondering how long Roys Peak is, it's a serious hike but the views of Lake Wanaka are worth the effort. It was one of the best New Zealand South Island hikes I did. There is some amazing scenery all around but this hike gives you the best of New Zealand South Island. Mountains, lakes, greens and blues. It's no wonder it is one of the most popular instagram spots in New Zealand.

I managed it in abut 4 hours but it could easily take a lot longer, especially if the weather conditions were not as good.

Roys Peak : Is Instagram ruining New Zealand?

Last year, a little-known Kiwi peak went viral and suddenly started attracting 75,000 visitors a year.

One of the biggest challenges park managers face worldwide is the power of social media to create new visitor destinations at short notice.

Fortunately, Leave No Trace New Zealand is here to save the day with a guide to 21st century outdoor etiquette.

How to Pack for a Day Walk:

Roy’s Peak is one of the peaks near the town of Wanaka, about 1 hour away from Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand. From Wanaka, it is about a 7 minute drive to the car park at the bottom of Roy’s Peak. You can also bike to the Roy’s Peak trail head from Wanaka town center to avoid having to deal with parking (more on that later).

Every October to mid November, Roy’s Peak track is closed for lambing. Part of the hiking trail actually is on private land so it is not surprising the trails can be closed for this purpose.

Even in the summer, you should bring layers when hiking Roy’s Peak because weather can change rapidly especially at the peak. I have seen stories where it suddenly stormed at the view point (where everyone takes the Instagram photo of Roy’s Peak) and hikers have to rush down to gain warmth. When I was at Roy’s Peak mid December, it was quite windy and cold on top even though I was wearing a t-shirt while hiking up.

You can still hike Roy’s Peak in the winter but you will need to bring and use alpine equipment such as ice axe and crampons. There is also avalanche risk in the winter.

One thing you should note is that you can actually see Roy’s Peak from Wanaka. If you can’t see the peak because of clouds or rain, then you shouldn’t bother hiking Roy’s Peak because you won’t be able to see anything let alone take photos at the famous view point. While I was in Wanaka, I was obsessively checking the weather and cloud coverage because I wasn’t sure if it was going to stop raining.

One of the best website I found for Wanaka weather is a Norwegian weather service because it provided hour by hour cloud coverage information. If it’s 100% low cloud coverage then you might want to use common sense and see if it’s worth hiking Roy’s Peak. This weather service was a real life saver otherwise I would’ve tried to hike up to Roy’s Peak before sunrise and not be able to see anything! It works better than the official Metservice from New Zealand.

PARKING AT ROYS PEAK TRAILHEAD

The Roy’s Peak parking lot is at the base of the hike, about 7 minute drive from the town of Wanaka on Mt. Aspiring Road. The Parking lot actually fits about 100 cars and it’s not a small car park. However due to the crazy popularity of Roy’s Peak hike, even 100 car park is not enough.

The parking lot sometimes fills up by 7am on a nice day so if you plan to hike Roy’s Peak early in the morning you should aim to get there before then. If you can wake up for sunrise and start hiking at 3 or 4am that’s even better. For this very reason, the DOC website recommends hikers to actually bike to Roy’s Peak parking lot from Wanaka to avoid congesting the parking lot.

DETAILS OF ROYS PEAK HIKE IN WANAKA

Length of Roy’s Peak Hike: 11km round trip
Time it takes to hike Roy’s Peak: ~6-7 hours round trip
Elevation of Roy’s Peak Hike: 1578m
Difficulty: Strenuous and requires good fitness level

Roy’s Peak is a very steep and tiring hike. You need to be of decent physical fitness level to survive hiking to Roy’s Peak. Immediately after you exit the Roy’s Peak parking lot you begin the steep climb.

The first 30 minutes of the Roy’s Peak hike is really steep and within 5 minutes you can look back to see how far you’ve gotten from the parking lot. You will also be passing through private farmlands during the first part of the hike so you may see a lot of sheep and little gates and wires to keep the sheep in.

The trail gets slightly better for about 10 minutes after the initial steep ascend but it picks up again soon after. By better I mean it’s less steep but it’s still uphill so I guess it’s all relative. There is not any flat part of the trail, it’s just steep versus really steep.

After about the first 30 minutes you might occasionally see a “short cut”, which is a very steep path that you can go up. You don’t have to hike up the short cut because it probably will just save you 1 minute at most, you can always just follow the regular path to hike up.

Sunrise Hike to The Roy's Peak, Wanaka | New Zealand #hiking #outdoors #sunrise #friends

We started at 3am to climb up the Roy's Peak to watch the sunrise from it's summit. Roys peak is one of the most famous hikes in New Zealand and the reason behind it is the views from the top.

With the sun rising in the horizon and clouds below you scattering, this place gives you the perfect motivation to put on your hiking boots no matter what time of the day it is. I was accompanied with my friends who had been in the country before me and they were just taking me for a walk in their backyard.

Earning The Shot @ Roys Peak, Wanaka

Starting the hike up Roys Peak in Wanaka, New Zealand before sunrise means you'll definitely need a head torch and warmer layers. The uphill hike is completely worth it though, as you're rewarded with panoramic views once you reach the summit. A real great photo opportunity that you feel like you've earned!

Roy's Peak Hike | 16km of EPIC views!

I've arrived to Wanaka, and that means it's time to take on Roy's Peak track. Even though it was stinking hot weather this 16km round trip hiking Roys peak was packed full of amazing views and was totally worth it. Probably one of the hardest hikes I've done in NZ now just because of how steep it was but don't let that discourage you.

Wanaka - Hiking Roy's Peak (2017) / S02E03

Already after the first 100 steps of the track, we had understood that is was going to be a hell of a hike. It was so steep (the map we received at the visitor center already said it was a hard track but we always believe things once we see / feel them) that we thought it was a 90-degree incline. Probably it wasn’t but until we reached the top it felt like 90 degrees. The first part of the track leads along rather grassy serpentines before the path becomes sandier as you approach the top. It is not comparable to hiking up a dune (or a volcano) but because it is so steep, it is a hard hike – at least we thought so. The higher you hike, the more remote the peak appears. After 3 hours, we reached the first picture stop – we did not take a picture though because Bianca hates the sheer imagination of having a picture hanging on the wall at home that thousand others also have. We ate a snack and relaxed for a while – the view is already stunning before you reach the peak – and then continued for the final ascend. It is approximately another 30 minutes but the last part is the worst – the path leads vertically up to the top. When we had eventually reached the top, life rewarded us with a stunning view down to Wanaka and the lake – truly beautiful and worth the pain. We enjoyed the view for a few minutes, finished our snacks and went down again – as exhausting as the climb up.
