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.

Edwin's 10 days trip to Ladakh

5 days ago
Amazing India Routes didnt disappoint as a 1st time experience for me. Overlooking some minor issues and problems, the whole trip was a rejuvenating and enriching experience for us. Camping at Nubra valley could have been a much more fun experience if the location of the camp wasnt located too much remote and interior(But bonfire night made up for that). Also, appreciate the efforts Priyanshu and Amrita put in during the course of our trip by being readily available at beck and call of us and responding and resolving any which problems which had arised. The 1st view of Pangong Lake was too good (Plz opt for 2 night stay @ Pangong lake). Please clarify the Food cuisine preference before the trip. The whole road trip was totally breathtaking and each and every images of that place is imprinted in our minds.

Amruthabharadhwaj's 7 days trip to Ladakh

5 days ago
Well organised trip for a best rate. Great Accomodations provided. Provided Innova for long distance travel which was very much comfortable. Suggestion would be to accomodate few additional sight seeing for the 2nd day since the itinerary gets over in half a day. Better to have a single driver for the entire trip. The driver who came for Airport pick up and took us for sight seeing in the secod day was not quiet responding. Best memory was chilling Pangong Lake and calm & very beautiful Nubra Valley till the last village of India, Turtuk. Mid of October even though chilling offers you great scenic beauty of this region with fall colours. Invest in good quality glouses and Jacket if planning in October.

Uday's 8 days trip to Ladakh

5 days ago
It was very good picnic. Hotels given in Leh, Nubra Valley, Pangong are of excellent quality. Specially Nubra valley and Pangong was of awesome quality. Hotel given in Tsomoriri lake was not that of good quality as it was under renovation and took time to settle down for us. Cab driver was very particular about tour and even if you say some place to visit he used to remind us about extra charge. I feel that was not good. But in all driver behavior was good. We enjoyed stay in Leh, Nubra valley and Pangong valley. Food was good at all places. If you are visiting Tsomoriri We believe best time to see it in early morning to amazing pictures.
