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.

Jagannath's 8 days trip to Sri Lanka

Exceptional Service by Ayesha & Kavindu – A Perfect Sri Lanka Trip! A huge thank you to Ayesha, our travel agent, for flawlessly planning our trip from Sigiriya to Colombo, ensuring every detail was taken care of, including our 5-star stay at Marino Beach Colombo. A special shoutout to Kavindu, our guide and chauffeur, who was with us for seven days, assisting us at every step with his local knowledge and warm hospitality. His thoughtful gestures, like the random King Coconut treat, made our journey even more special. Every destination was a delight: Sigiriya – The majestic Sigiriya Rock climb was tough but offered breathtaking views. Kandy – The Temple of the Tooth Relic and Kandy Lake were serene and beautiful. Nuwara Eliya – The cool weather and lush tea plantations made it a scenic paradise. Horton Plains – The stunning landscapes of World’s End and Baker’s Falls left us in awe. Ella – Enjoyed the stunning views and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. Yala – The wildlife safari experience was thrilling, with sightings of elephants, deer, and crocodiles. Galle – Loved the colonial charm and pristine beaches. Colombo – A perfect end with a luxurious stay at Marino Beach and its infinity pool. Thanks to Ayesha for seamless planning and Kavindu for his exceptional guidance, making this an unforgettable and hassle-free experience. Highly recommended!

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

Markexa's 6 days trip to Kashmir

A Memorable Kashmir Experience We had an amazing trip to Kashmir with Paradise Port, covering Pahalgam, Sonmarg, Gulmarg, a houseboat stay, and a Shikara ride. Everything was well-organized—from comfortable accommodations to seamless transportation. Each destination was breathtaking, and the houseboat stay and Shikara ride on Dal Lake were truly magical. The team ensured our comfort and safety throughout. Highly recommend them for a hassle-free and unforgettable Kashmir experience!

Sneha's 2 days trip to Kashmir

16 days ago
At first, I was reluctant to book my trip with Travel Triangle as nowadays there are lot of fake websites and agents but seeing their payment terms which was to be done in three installments, I decided to book the trip with travel Triangle. Only 30% of the amount to be paid before the start of the trip and all the payment to be done through website build a sense of trust on them. They also assured that all the agents are verified ones. So, I confirmed my booking with Design your trips as the budget suited me well. The trip manager handled the queries very well, be it early morning or late night she was available to answer and make changes in my itinerary according to my needs. But just after payment of the 1st installment she informed that the hotel I have selected is not available and she suggested me a different hotel near to the previous one. I reacted negatively as how can she do this after payment but later I accepted it as the hotel turned out to be a good one with good staff and food. Also, she said that all hotels including houseboats in Srinagar have 24 hours check in and check out facility but that was again told to convince the customers, and we were told that at the houseboat that the check-out time is 12 o clock. Overall, the hotel was good, but the Cab driver was not up to the mark. Throughout the journey he was driving very roughly which is the last thing to do in the hilly terrains of Srinagar and Gulmarg. Before reaching Gulmarg, he stopped the vehicle at Tangmarg saying that we need to book a different vehicle from there for our onward journey to Gulmarg as the weather is not good uphill. But as guided by the tour manager if there is no snowfall there is no need of chained vehicles, and the same agency vehicle will go uphill. After bit of protesting he agreed to continue but he tried his best to avoid going for the side scenes stating that only local vehicles are allowed to do so. Even being the local of Srinagar, he did not guide while visiting the local sightseeing of Srinagar. Also want to inform that staying in houseboat include booking a Sikara for going to and fro to the houseboat which was provided free of cost only once. Overall, the experience was good with smooth payment system and customer friendly tour and travels providing customized trips. Gulmarg gondola, sikara ride at dal lake

Prasadbhavsar's 3 days trip to Rajasthan

2 months ago
We recently had a trip to Udaipur arranged by your agency, and overall, it was a great experience. The accommodations, itinerary, and arrangements were well-planned, and we truly enjoyed exploring the city. However, one concern we faced was the frequent change of cab drivers. Each day, a new driver was assigned, which made it slightly inconvenient to adjust to different driving styles and explain our preferences repeatedly. It would be much better if a single driver could be assigned for the entire tour to ensure a smoother and more comfortable experience. We appreciate your service and look forward to traveling with you again. Jug mandir, fateh sagar lake and there street foods, Lake pichola, Kumbhalgadh, Rajasthani folk dances
