Roy's Peak is one of the highest peaks in the Wanaka area. It's a gruelling 2-3 hour hike to the top but the viewpoint provides an amazing view of Wanaka lake and surrounding mountains.

Photography Tips

The best possible light for this location is sunrise so you will need to hike very early in the morning or stay overnight at the peak. Ensure you have a stable tripod as this location can be very windy.

Travel Information

Parking is available at the base of the mountain. This is a tough 2-3 hour hike to the top. If you want to achieve the best shots camping at the top will be your best option. Hiking with full gear will make the journey harder but the photo results will make it worth it.

Ensure you dress warmly as even during the summer this location can be very cold and windy.

I was there in may 2016 (added 2 pictures right now) and yes, you have to visit New Zealand Manuel :). I took my pictures in the late sunset as I remember (I had only one month for north + southisland so nothing to choose). But you wrote, that the sunrise is the best light here, I would say, that the sunset could also be great. Sadly, I just missed the sunset.
