Lake Tekapo Tourist Attractions
The picturesque Lake Tekapo and Mackenzie country area offers many exciting and memorable tourist attractions for you to choose from. We highly recommend you take a scenic flight with Air Safaris. They will take you over the majestic southern alps where you can view New Zealand's highest mountain, Mt Cook. An excellent half-day trip or if you are staying the night at Tekapo, we recommend you visit the Mt John Observatory. Earth and Sky offer day-time tours and also night-time tours where you can star-gaze through New Zealand's largest telescope. There are three ski fields within an hours drive of Lake Tekapo. These include Roundhill Ski Area (25 mins), Mount Dobson Ski Area (40 mins) and Ohau Snow Fields (1 hour).
