Small Group Guided Tour of Mt Cook & Lake Tekapo from Christchurch

Board a minibus with a small group and start your guided tour from the town of Christchurch to discover the magnificent sights of New Zealand.

Spellbinding Lakes and a View of the Alps

Start from Christchurch and drive through the picturesque greenery of Canterbury Plains to arrive at Geraldine, where you can relax with a cup of tea as you bask in the morning sunshine. Head over to the mesmerizing Lake Tekapo, which will leave you speechless with the sight of gleaming waters surrounded by the Alps. The purple and pink Lupins swaying ashore, complementing the cyanic hues of the water, will make you feel like you’re in a painting. Explore the township of Tekapo and visit the Church of the Good Shepherd, which stands serenely against the backdrop of a striking sky. Catch sight of the famous sculpture of the Mackenzie Dog and click plenty of pictures before you head to Lake Pukaki.

Mt Cook, the Tallest Peak in New Zealand

As you reach Mt Cook National Park, the dazzling waters of Lake Pukaki make an appearance. The aquamarine lake reflecting the snow-capped Southern Alps and the mighty Mt Cook will leave you stunned. At Mt Cook National Park, take your time to enjoy the marvelous scenery of the snow-covered mountains and the Tasman Glacier. Take a pleasant walk or choose an optional activity like a ski dive or a scenic flight to add to your experience. Click gorgeous pictures of the tallest peak in New Zealand at Mt Cook Village, standing in its beauty and awe.

As you bid goodbye to the scenic Mt Cook, you can choose to drive back to Christchurch or carry on for some more adventures on a one-way trip to Queenstown. Relish the flavor of fresh salmon at High Country Salmon and visit the Lindis Pass, one of the only three accessible roads in the Southern Alps. Enjoy the view of the pristine valley and stop at Mrs. Jones Fruit Stall to dig into some fresh fruits and fruity ice creams. Marvel at the splendid views from vantage points of the Roaring Meg Lookout and Kawarau Suspension Bridge as you mark the end of your journey.
