Lake Tekapo Holiday Packages

Lake Tekapo

The town, Lake Tekapo (the name is similar to the lake) is on the southern tip of the lake, and has some of the most splendid and sweeping views imaginable. The lake is present in Mackenzie District on the southern island of New Zealand.
A turquoise lake amid the snow-clad mountains, Lake Tekapo sparkles beneath the blue sky. It is often a magical experience to see a line-up of mountains reflecting on its waters. Its rock floor is a specialty as the glaciers roll down grinding the rock particles and depositing them on the lake’s floor.

The splendid view of the lake and skiing opportunities on the mountains is worth the visit if you book Lake Tekapo packages. Therefore, often tourists who are traveling from Christchurch to Mount Cook make it a base station on the route.

How To Reach

By Road

Several bus services that travel to Tekapo are available from Christchurch Airport, Queenstown or Wanaka and Christchurch. It is a three hours journey from Christchurch airport to Lake Tekapo. The distance for a road trip is 1200 km.

By Air

The nearest airport to reach Lake Tekapo is Christchurch airport. If you are traveling from the cities of Australia or other countries, you can fly to Christchurch airport.

By Train

You can also take a train if you are traveling from Rangiora to reach Lake Tekapo. However, there are obvious disadvantages as the trains run once every day on this route and the time duration is longer than by road, that is a little more than 4 hours.

Best Time To Visit

Lake Tekapo during winter months (mid-November to late December)

You can visit Lake Tekapo in the winter months when the icy-blue water projects a strikingly different image compared to the snow-capped mountains. It is when the nearby ski fields remain busy and you can be a part of thrilling adventures down the snowy terrain.

The place as a part of Lake Tekapo packages offers many snow activities and you can have good fun out there. However, in case you are there for a relaxing trip, viewing the perfect natural and scenic beauty can keep you occupied as well.

Lake Tekapo during summers

If you have to consider the aesthetics of the place, then summers are no less. The summers enliven the lake, as the wildflowers add to the beauty. You can have a swim in the pristine lake. These aspects make it a perfect visit even for the summer holidays.

Tekapo has many summer activities for its visitors, so you can also look out for a trip during the summer holidays.

We booked Leh Ladakh trip from travel triangle and Leh Ladakh journey is the agency. Overall trip was wonderful. Every place mentioned in iternary was covered. Our driver Joldan was friendly, he was on time for anything. He suggested many view points which are less crowded and beautiful. I strongly recommend him for any Ladakh trip as he knows every corner of Ladakh. Hotels : Leh - Hotel Ladakh place — we highly recommend this place to stay in Leh. Food is good and hospitality, rooms are excellent. Hunder - Dowa resort — stay is ok ok and food is average Pangong - High lake retreat pangong - This is most beautiful stay in the trip. Amazing view of pangong lake . Food and hospitality is excellent in such remote place. Highly recommend this for pangong stay Hanle - The Hor hotel — this stay is not good and food is very bad. This is only bad thing in overall trip. Never stay in Hanle more than a day nothing much to see. Observatory is not much useful. We can cover umlingla and return to Leh in a day. We did same it saves a day We had an amazing trip Thanks to travel triangle and Leh Ladakh journey for providing amazing experience with reasonable budget. Pangong lake and the stay in pangong lake

Koushikk's 8 days trip to Sikkim - Gangtok - Darjeeling

13 days ago
We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Sikkim With Unexplored Trip and I can confidently say it was one of the most beautiful and well-organized vacations we've had. From the breathtaking landscapes of Gangtok and Tsomgo Lake to the peaceful monasteries and vibrant local culture, every day brought something new and exciting. A big shoutout to our tour organizer, Avishkar Tiwari, who did an exceptional job in planning and coordinating everything. From the moment we arrived until our return, every detail was taken care of — clean and comfortable accommodations, smooth transportation, knowledgeable local guides, and a well-paced itinerary that gave us enough time to explore and relax. What made the trip truly special was Avishkar’s personal touch and responsiveness. He was always available for queries and ensured we felt safe, informed, and taken care of throughout the journey. His passion for travel and deep knowledge of the region really showed in the way everything was handled. If you're planning a trip to Sikkim, I highly recommend going through Avishkar Tiwari (+91 72754 54319). He made our trip seamless, enjoyable, and filled with beautiful memories that we’ll cherish forever.

I recently took a trip to Meghalaya and Sikkim with Sizra Cover, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. From the lush green hills and waterfalls of Meghalaya to the snowy serenity of Sikkim’s lakes and mountain passes, every moment felt magical. Sizra Cover handled all the logistics flawlessly, with punctual transport, clean accommodations, and a well-paced itinerary. . Highly recommend Sizra Cover for anyone looking to explore the Northeast without stress. I’ll definitely travel with them again! Nathula paa

Trip to Sikkim - Gangtok - Darjeeling

18 days ago
Our trip to Darjeeling & Gangtok was very much joyful. Accommodation given to us at both locations was excellant. Food in hotels at both locations was awesome. Climate at both locations made our trip more beautiful & mesmerising. It was full of fog & giving us a feel that we are moving in clouds. Both Mr. Anand & Mr. Dipu were available to guide us in the entire trip. Only concern is food preparation time at Darjeeling hotel, it was almost 45 min to serve food. Hotel management should try and reduce this delay. Visit to Natulla Pass & Lake - it will remain a lifetime memory for us.

Anurodh's 5 days trip to Ladakh

18 days ago
recently booked a Ladakh trip through Tripita, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire experience! From the very beginning, their team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. They crafted a well-balanced itinerary that covered all the must-visit places like Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, and Magnetic Hill while also allowing us to soak in the peaceful beauty of the region. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, transportation was smooth and reliable, and our local guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Tripita made sure everything ran like clockwork, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes without worrying about the logistics. What really stood out was their attention to detail and personal touch – they checked in regularly to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied with the arrangements. It was a seamless, memorable experience, and I would absolutely recommend Tripita to anyone looking to explore Ladakh or any other destination. Thank you, Tripita, for an unforgettable journey!

Shraddha's 4 days trip to Ladakh

18 days ago
My trip to Ladakh with Tripita was nothing short of extraordinary! The raw beauty of the landscapes — from the surreal Pangong Lake to the majestic Nubra Valley — left me speechless. Every turn revealed a postcard-perfect view, and the serenity of the mountains was truly humbling. I especially appreciated the hospitality at the hotel stays, where I got a real taste of Ladakhi cuisine and traditions. Shefali booked the best and most comfortable stay for us. She was very adjusting right from the time of booking. She gave us one of the best driver Tashi who made sure we reach everywhere on time and cover all the places of itinerary. The journey was adventurous with the bike ride and With high-altitude passes like Khardung La adding thrill and a sense of achievement. The monasteries were not only spiritual sanctuaries but also offered stunning architecture and serenity. I’m already dreaming of my next visit to Ladakh with Tripita again. We had an amazing and memorable experience. Thank you Shefali for one of the best trips.

Nandini's 5 days trip to Europe

20 days ago
We had good ex0erience with Wise hatra starting from visa assistance till the end. Thanks a lot . *Greetings from Nandini Aravind...* Thank you for assisting us with the Austria trip starting from the visa application. *Day 1*: As soon as we reached Vienna , we got freshened up and went on to visit a few places like St. Peter's cathedral and nearby places like Albertina platz . We could attend a violin concert at the cathedral on the same day from 8.30 pm. *Day 2* : As mentioned in the iternary, we went to Schonbrunn Palace and enjoyed the tour. Later, we took a combo ticket and visited Zoo, Desert palace , and botanical garden within 5pm. Zoo should be one of the must visit places as it includes penguins, pandas, koala, polar bears, and more. We did a hike at Schonbrunn, which had an amazing view. The same day, we went to Giant ferris Wheel at the amusement park and wandered around. Personally, I didn't like the ferries wheel much. *Day 3*: We booked train tickets to Melk near Danube Valley. We went on cruise till Krems and returned at around 5 pm to Vienna. We visited the rest of the places near Belvedre, Sisi Museum, etc. *Day 4*: We came to Salsburg by 4 pm and went directly to the St.peter church area. Visited all the nearby platz ,Mirabell platz. *Day 5* : We started to Hallstatt at 8.45 am bus ( had soothing views during the journey) . Reached Bad isch and then took the train to Hallstatt, ferry to lake side. We visited Beanhaus, charnel house, and cathedral. Paying for the bone house was not worth it. Then we went to Skywalk via cable car. Paid around 48 euro per person for Skywalker saltmine. Saltmine tour was really good and interesting . The tour itself was for 1.5 hours. We spent around 4 hours in Hallstatt Hills . By 4.30 pm , we came down and started back . Reached Salsburg at around 6 pm. Just roamed around and bought some gifts for loved ones. Through the journey , we used Google maps to catch the bus, train, and trams and to find washrooms (WC). Best western at Salsburg had very limited options in breakfast compared to the other two places .

Debasish's 7 days trip to Sikkim - Gangtok - Darjeeling

24 days ago
Lined up M/s Jereme travels through Travel Trangle portal for family trip to north Sikkim. During initial discussion, Travel Tringle had promised to extend support in case of any exigency. But they do not pick our call even. In Detail: During journey to Lachen from Gangtok, our car tyre got punctured. Stepney available with car was totally worn out. Compelled to travel with that stepney compromising safety. As expected, before we reach Lachen, on the way, again the tyre got flattened. Very next day our trip was planned for Gurudongmar lake. M/s Jere was pressurizing us to visit to Lake with that car only. We straight refused to accept their proposal but still they were pursuing. After lots of deliberation, we said that we are cancelling our Lake trip, because it will be a serious safety compromise for our family. Finally, at 23:00hrs night they arranged one local vehicle for Lake visit. During this process tried to contact TRAVEL TRANGLE multiple times but they did not pick my call. I am really disappointed with the attitude of TRAVEL TRANGLE. NOT EXPECTED. So, by the grace of GOD if nothing wrong happened during tour, then it's your good luck. But if something happens then you have to suffer, Travel Trangle will not extend support. Finally, we had to travel from Lachen via Lachung to Gangtok with no stepney, mind it no stepney in our vehicle. It was a scary journey for us. Thank you, GOD.

You can soak in the hot pools and get treatments from the Tekapo Spring spas. The 36-foot waterslides offer many outdoor activities at tubing parks.

Sheepdog Statue

Among the snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps and overlooking the lake, the statue of sheepdog stands tall.
