Lake Wakatipu is New Zealand’s third largest and one of its most picturesque lakes. Popular recreational activities in the waters of the lake include wakeboarding, waterskiing and cruises on the TSS Earnslaw, an antique steamship. According to Maori legend the lake was formed when a brave Maori rescued a chief’s daughter from the clutches of a giant; the Maori set fire to the giant’s body and the heat is said to have melted the snows forming the lake.
