About Lake Tekapo
The first glimpse of the stunning turquoise blue Lake Tekapo leaves
a lasting impression. Found in the centre of the mighty Southern Alps
on the road from Queenstown to Christchurch, Lake Tekapo is a terrific
place to stop on your backpacking tour of New Zealand.
At Lake
Tekapo you can experience a variety of walks, fishing, cruises and
scenic flights around Aoraki Mount Cook and the stunning Tasman, Franz
Josef and Fox glaciers. Play squash and golf or have a go at climbing,
horse trekking, cross-country and downhill skiing at the Roundhill ski
field.
The brand new Alpine Springs and Spa offers a unique mix of
relaxation and recreation: try ice-skating or curling on the outdoor
ice-rink in the winter or soak in the hot pools or get a relaxing
massage all year round.
Take a tour of the Southern Hemisphere by
night with a Stargazing Tour up on Mt John Observatory departing from
near the YHA Lake Tekapo hostel each evening. For a beautiful
earthbound view visit the Church of the Good Shepherd on the shores of
Lake Tekapo for one of New Zealand’s most iconic scenic views through
its lakeside window.
And if you’re looking for a special way to
end your action packed day on and around Lake Tekapo then spoil
yourself at a variety of award-winning Tekapo restaurants with
exquisite Japanese and New Zealand cuisine. Or take a cruise to
Motuariki Island in the centre of Lake Tekapo for a delectable dinner
prepared on the shore!
