Lake Tekapo, der ligger i New Zealands sydlige ø, er berømt for sine slående turkisfarvede vande, resultatet af gletsjersilten, der hænger i søen. Beliggende i en højde på 710 meter, spænder det omkring 83 kvadratkilometer. Området er en del af Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, der tilbyder ekstraordinære muligheder for stjernebilled på grund af minimal lysforurening. Bemærkelsesværdige landemærker omfatter Kirken for den gode hyrde, en historisk stenkapel på søens bredder, og de livlige lupinblomster, der pryder landskabet fra midten af november til december. Den omkringliggende region har også varme kilder og forskellige vandrestier, hvilket gør Lake Tekapo til et foretrukket rejsemål for både afslapning og eventyr.
Pukaki-søen er den største af tre parallelle alpine søer på New Zealands sydø, og dækker et areal på ca. 178,7 kvadratkilometer. Den særprægede blå farve kommer fra isfarvet mel - fine stenpartikler, der hænger i vandet. Søen fodres af Tasman River, der stammer fra Tasman og Hooker Glaciers nær Aoraki/Mount Cook. Højdepunkterne ligger mellem 518.2 og 532 meter over havets overflade. Pukaki-søen er integreret i Waitaki's hydroelektriske system, med dæmninger og kanaler, der forbinder den med nærliggende søer til elproduktion.
NZ Alpine Lavender nær Aoraki/Mt Cook: Den største certificerede økologiske gård på den sydlige halvkugle (600m). Besøg Dec-Mar for blomstrende lavendel midt i fantastisk alpint landskab: klar himmel, snedækkede toppe, turkisfloder. Det unikke klima giver kraftig, ren olie. Oplev nye produkter: økologisk olie, sæber, aromaterapi. Oplev alpin renhed.
Tasman Glacier (South Island, NZ) NZ's længste (~23.5 km), tykkeste (~600 m), og største i isvolumen. Trækker sig hurtigt tilbage, danner Tasman Lake med isbjerge. Det nederste afsnit er dækket af klipper. Populær for bådture og naturskønne flyvninger. Opkaldt efter Abel Tasman. Tilgængelig fra Mt Cook Village. En kraftfuld visning af gletsjerforandringer.
Stop ved Mount Cook og fortsæt derefter til Lake Mueller Lookout. Tag dig tid til at nyde den vidunderlige udsigt over gletsjere og det hårde alpine landskab. Det er en kort gåtur med en givende baggrund, der føles lige ud af et postkort.

Great full-day tour to Aoraki / Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo. Stunning alpine scenery, turquoise lakes, and snow-capped peaks. The guide was informative and friendly, with well-timed stops for photos and short walks. A smooth, comfortable trip that captures the South Island’s natural beauty in one unforgettable day.
Our driver / guide Jatin was brilliant ! Very knowledgeable and tried so hard all day. Lake Tekapo was incredible, absolutely beautiful. Reason for only 4 stars was because its such a long way away. 3 hours each way. No body to blame there but it was a very long way. Great day on the whole ; we didn't do Mount Cooke because of our ship port times
Amazing Lake Tekapo and Mountain Cook day tour… stunning views, smooth trip, totally worth it!!!! Very well organised !!! A big thumbs up for the team👍
We had wonderful time during the tour. Our guide JB was friendly and flexible with our preferred schedule. We had a last minute schedule change due to weather (not related to the tour itself), JB was very flexible and helpful, taking us to beautiful hiking trail, seeing Tasman Lake/River closely. We also had so much fun seeing Lupins near Lake Tekapo, and enjoyed delicious alpine salmon near Lake Pukaki! JB was very knowledgable about the area and routes, making the tour so special!
Good experience, the van was comfort, guide us when to take a photos,patient and reliable. Thank you😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Every detail of the trip was carefully organized, from pick-up to drop-off. The landscapes of Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo are incredible, and having such a professional and friendly team made the experience even better. Will definitely book again!
Our guide was amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. I learned so much about the area and had plenty of time to take in the sights. The Nature’s Trail team made this day trip smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable.
It went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. From helping us with local transport to recommending amazing places to eat, every detail was taken care of. We learned so much and had so much fun. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
The places we visited were absolutely beautiful, and it felt like we got to see a mix of popular spots and hidden gems. There was plenty of time to explore, take photos, and just soak it all in. Also, bonus points for the comfy van and the snacks – it’s the little things! Everything went smoothly and felt really personal – not like one of those big, rushed tours. You could tell the team cared about making the day special. Honestly, one of the best tours I’ve done. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore without the stress of planning!
From start to finish, everything was super well organised and easy. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole group feel welcome and relaxed. We got to see some amazing spots that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own, and the pace of the day was just right – not rushed at all. There were a few surprise stops along the way too, which made it feel even more special. Really appreciated how smooth everything ran, from pickup to drop-off. You can tell the team genuinely loves what they do. I’d definitely book another tour with them next time I’m in the area! Highly recommend to anyone visiting and wanting to make the most of their trip. 👏
