Things to do

Let your adventure begin in the Waitaki district. Whether you like hiking, biking, driving or flying, the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark has it all to offer.

Glide from our world-renown site in Omarama and savour the view of New Zealand highest peak, Aoraki/Mt Cook, the magnificent surrounding glacial lakes born from the trauma of tectonic forces and other natural geomorphological processes that has also given birth to our mighty Waitaki River and our beautiful shoreline, home to a rich biodiversity populated by penguins and seals.

"What a fantastic window into the past. Today we saw fossil bones in limestone at two different sites. One set were whale bones. Just awesome that this trail has been put together, maintained and promoted."
