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.

Abhishek's 6 days trip to Sikkim - Gangtok - Darjeeling

6 days ago
My recent tour of Sikkim was a pleasant experience overall. The natural beauty of the region is truly breathtaking — from the serene hills of Gangtok to the peaceful charm of Pelling and the stunning views of Tsomgo Lake. The cool weather in June offered a refreshing break from the heat elsewhere. While the itinerary was well-planned, a few aspects could have been better managed, such as cab services and travel coordination. Some places felt a bit rushed. That said, the warmth of the locals and the unique culture made up for the minor inconveniences. Sikkim is definitely worth visiting for nature lovers and those looking for a peaceful getaway. With a little more attention to logistics, the experience could easily be excellent.

Rahul's 2 days trip to Sikkim - Gangtok - Darjeeling

6 days ago
Only the pickup and drop was fine and we could only do the local sightseeing... The driver was not willing to take us to changu lake and baba mandir since the first day we reached there... Giving so many excuses about accident and snow sliding on road, etc etc... but after lot of request he somehow agreed. Then when we saw some ice he started to say that we can't go further despite the other vehicles going ahead of us... There is lot more to write about that driver... Let it be... The package had breakfast included but the hotel was not informed about it... After telling the agent then they added the breakfast in the package. Why we have to repeatedly ask for the service for which we have paid... Heater charge was told to us 200 per night but it was charged 500 per night. After completion of your when I informed that we could not see the main location of our package there was no reply ... I had earlier very good experience with travel triangle but this time I am very disappointed and felt like I have waisted my money.

Soniya's 1 days trip to North East

It was my first solo trip and I was little hesitant in going from one state to another all alone on a day’s trip. But Unexplored trip vendor from Travel Triangle assured me to be stress free. Their employee Sizra, quickly provided me customised itineraries whenever I asked for modifications in my plan. She was quite cooperative and followed up very well till my trip ended. Driver of the cab, Vikas, acted as a good guide and he made me see all the spots with positive attitude throughout the trip. Lake visit

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

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

6 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.
