The easiest way to reach the beginning of the trail is to drive there yourself. The closest town to Roys Peak is Wanaka but you can also easily get there from Queenstown. The hike starts at Roy’s Peak parking lot.
Purakaunui Falls
Once you reach the parking lot, the walk to the Purakaunui Waterfalls takes approximately 10 minutes.

A hike that will take your breath away!! You must do it for the sunrise – it was such a magical moment. The hike itself isn’t that hard, but you gotta keep going until the end if you want to have the best view!
FYI: In April, we began the hike at 3:30, and were able to catch the sunrise at its best time around 5:30.
