About Mt Cook/Lake Tekapo

Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest mountain, surrounded by spectacular scenery, lakes, and glaciers.

Tekapo is home to the largest Dark Sky Reserve in the world. Stargazing takes centre stage here, with some of the world’s most pristine night skies. Free from light pollution, Tekapo attracts both professional and amateur stargazers from all over the world to witness dramatic star displays. It’s a must-see destination for any night sky enthusiast.

Start your day with us picking you up from your accommodation and heading out of Queenstown through the Gibbston Valley, down through the Kawarau Gorge, into Cromwell, and then heading north.

You can return to Queenstown after your tour, or continue on to Christchurch if preferred — depending on your itinerary.

This trip can be done over 2 or 3 days, depending on the sights and activities you choose to experience.

Let us know what you’d like to see and do, and we can advise on timing and suitable accommodation.

We do not include the price of activities or accommodation, as preferences vary, but we are happy to assist with recommendations and bookings.
