- Lake Tekapo - Lake Tekapo is one of the most picturesque destinations, located in the heart of the South Island. Known for its vibrant turquoise waters and stunning alpine scenery, it is a popular spot for nature lovers and adventurers. The Best Things to Do in Tekapo include visiting the Church of the Good Shepherd, snapping a photo of the Sheepdog Memorial, soaking in the Tekapo Springs, and stargazing in the Dark Sky Reserve.
- Lake Pukaki - Lake Pukaki is another breathtaking glacial lake, renowned for its dazzling turquoise waters, panoramic views, scenic drives, and photography opportunities. It is located near Mount Cook, the highest peak in New Zealand. The views of Mt Cook are truly spectacular. The blue (turquoise) color is due to fine silt particles, or glacial flour, in the water.
- Tasman Glacier - This is the best spot for scenic photography of Tasman Glacier point view. Enjoy the easy-going 1-hour walk and don’t forget your camera! (The glacier is in the distance behind a lake). This is a major attraction to spend quality time while at Mt Cook.
- Hooker Valley Track - The track at dawn offers a view of the first rays of the sun creeping over the Southern Alps, including New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook.
- Aoraki/Mt. Cook - At your final destination, enjoy lunch at a lovely hotel with a stunning location and views. The hotel is ideally positioned to offer excellent views of Mount Cook Glaciers. Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand, helped Sir Edmund Hillary develop his climbing skills in preparation for the conquest of Everest. The Muller Hut Route is temporarily closed for day walkers. If you have booked to stay at Mueller Hut, you may still use the track and hut. Mount Cook village is the key entry point to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park — several short walks and overnight hikes start from the village. It’s also well worth visiting for the pristine night sky and other activities such as boat tours and heli hikes to the Tasman Glacier and hiking the Hooker Valley track.
- High Country Salmon - After enjoying a tasty lunch, be sure to get a coffee before making your way back to Queenstown. Next, stop in at High Country Salmon, a local salmon farm, where you can enjoy feeding the fish and tasting some of the freshest salmon in New Zealand.
- Lindis Pass - Lindis Pass offers stunning views of tussock-covered hills, rugged terrain, and snow-capped peaks, especially captivating at sunrise or sunset.
- Kawarau Suspension Bridge - Before reaching the final destination, make a quick picturesque stop at Roaring Meg Lookout. The lookout provides stunning views of the turquoise waters of the Kawarau River.
- Queenstown - Conclude this memorable day with a drop-off in Queenstown. It’s time to relax in New Zealand’s premier resort town, enjoying adventure and relaxation amidst stunning natural beauty!
