Lake Wakatipu is renowned for its scenic beauty, being surrounded by mountains. The Remarkables mountain range lies along its southeastern edge. It is a popular venue for adventure tourism, with skifields, paragliding, bungy jumping and tramping tracks within easy reach. A vintage steamboat, the TSS Earnslaw regularly plies its waters. Several vineyards are nearby in the Gibbston Valley.

Issued to commemorate the 2011 INDIPEX World Philatelic Exhibition, the three stamps of the souvenir sheet are showing: Milford Sound, Lake Wakatipu and Lake Rotorua. The picture of Lake Wakatipu on the stamp is from Queenstown.

The pictures and coordinates were taken on the shores of lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, Otago.
