“Abby and Will helped me plan and nail the most special 30th birthday I could have ever imagined. They made the planning fun and stress free (even with the changing weather forecast!). I could park up in Wanaka with 20 of my best friends and know everything is taken care of. We had 3 days of cross country skiing, an overnight hut stay, riding at Cardrona... and we were lucky enough to have them join us for the celebration. We are all so excited for the 2021 mission. Watching the boys try and play it cool in front of Will Jackways was priceless. Thanks team, you bossed it!

“ I’ve been snowboarding in Wanaka/Queenstown a few times before but never experienced it like this. Such a great experience from end to end. Will was an awesome guide and took us out to some great spots we would never have discovered on our own. The accommodation was perfect and a great place to relax after an adventure filled day. I couldn’t recommend the experience more and we’d love to head out with them again in NZ or even on one of their Japan trips!

“Will and crew are the most professional top notch humans you will ever meet. He picked us up from the airport, and from that moment on, we were completely dialed. We stayed at a beautiful home in Moiwa, outfitted with all the amenities we needed for cooking, and for a relaxing stay. Several onsens were in walking distance, which made the stay that much more memorable. Will was on call to help us with translation, driving us to resorts, and hunting out the best snow in the area. I highly recommend using Explore Wanaka’s services, whether it’s a guided film trip, or the ultimate shred vacation,

““WillJ with Explore Wanaka was awesome to help assist us on our media trip
out to NZ. They helped us out organising our logistics and put us in touch
with all the best local connections to make sure we had the best and most
productive time out there. I would for sure recommend other Brands or
Clients to work with him when they are in NZ. We are looking forward to get
more trips dialled with Will when we come back next season ””

“Will jackways and I had an insane day boosting around TC the other day. He’s started up Explore Wanaka and now we can all get stuck into his vast knowledge of this area to make the most of a fresh storm or a trip down here. ”

“Most fun people to snowboard with!! highly recommend Will J and Abby!

“Was my first experience heli, it was an awesome experience catering to all levels, for fun open fresh lines to steeper more challenging terrain. Resort touring was great, giving an at home experience exploring the resort terrain. Will and Abby were accomodating with transfers and the accomodation was nice and comfortable.

Looking at further tours with these guys in the future at home and abroad in Japan.

“In this strange Covid year, a great way to escape to the glorious Southern Alpine playground for thoroughly well organised and guided fun on the white stuff. Excellent accommodation, transportation, slope negotiation and apres-ski with some great Wanaka craft beer. The enthusiasm, passion and professionalism of Will and Abby shines out. Go experience the Explore Wanaka team for yourself.

“So thankful for today. I came to New Zealand with very little expectations, knowing there is always a lot of weather and i had a short window of time here, I mostly intended on having a free spirited trip with some of my close friends and fam… wanted to drink the pure water and eat at all the good restaurants, visit the ocean and have fun on my board. Thankful to say the least I love New Zealand! Thank you Will Jackways and Explore Wanaka for a trip for the books!!”

“Knowledgeable and reliable owners who are at the top of there game. Guaranteed adventures and good times. Wanaka’s best snow and golf tours. ”

““Will from Explore Wanaka set up our media trip with the Heli operations in Wanaka fast and efficiently. We were able to get in contact with the right people quickly and get everything dialled for our last minute shoot. I`d definitely recommend using Explore Wanaka for any future clients who are looking to work with true professionals and will definitely be using Will to help organise our travel and shoots next year.”

“Will and Abby were awesome hosts! They went above and beyond to make the trip incredible. They know Wanaka and the mountains better than anyone. We had a blast on the slopes at Treble Cone and Cardrona guided by Will. While snow conditions weren’t perfect, Will knew the best routes for the conditions and where the pockets of powder were. All logistics (airport pickup and dropoff, transport to the mountains, accommodation, etc.) were like clockwork and totally stress free. Overall, could not have had a better experience!”

“
What a time. Will and Ab are absolute legends and delivered the best experience. Just fab. Thank you!
