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.

Priyanka's 4 days trip to Kashmir

2 days ago
Overall experience was good. At Pehalgam we stayed at The Villagio as the one was chosen by us it was the best hotel. The hotel at Srinagar was Golden Sands which lacked good breakfast, dont forget to carry Shower gel, tooth brush etc. and warm clothes as they only provide a soap and Shampoo pouch and heater only from 7 to 10 and few hours in morning otherwise u have to manage with blankets. The driver Nasir was good in nature, apart from few hicups all was great and accomodating reporting to his boss every small thing .. our Tour guide Ms. Rida was always supportive, guiding us and always atttentive to our cause, even on sunday and one day where she needed to intensively communicate with transporter. We are satisfied with the response time and the services. However she did nt fulfill her promise of complimentary honeymoon package (Just a cake though) may be due to christmas eve. All together a good trip. thanks to travel triangle for the services. Gulmarg Gandola Shikara Ride, Dal Lake Snowful Betaab Valley Aru Valley Shankracharya Temple

Dr's 7 days trip to Kashmir

6 days ago
We were received at the airport by Mr. Amir, who was very proactive and helpful in all aspects. He navigated us throughout the tour without any rush or delay at any place, and made us comfortable throughout our entire tour. Hotel Grand Sahara Hills at Srinagar was cosy and spacious, and we had a good experience. But they need to improve their room service. (4 stars) Hotel Supreme Resort at Pahalgam is not fully ready to receive guests. The hotel  construction is not complete. Basic facilities such as approach road are not yet built, and the generator is not capable of running heater or geyser. The location is also not great. Food served had limited choices, they had only jain food. (2 stars) Hotel Zahgeer at Gulmarg is very good and in a good location. Service and food was also good. (5 stars) On the last day we stayed in Blue Dolphin houseboat in Dal lake. While the houseboat itself is okay, it was too cold to utilise any of its space due to the extremely cold weather. It had a firewood based heater in 2 out of 4 rooms, which was not sufficient to warm any room up to a comfortable temperature. We should have been advised against staying in a houseboat in such a weather condition on the last day of a long trip. The tour co-ordinators were in communication and helped out wherever possible.

A Memorable Kashmir Experience We had an amazing trip to Kashmir with Paradise Port, covering Pahalgam, Sonmarg, Gulmarg, a houseboat stay, and a Shikara ride. Everything was well-organized—from comfortable accommodations to seamless transportation. Each destination was breathtaking, and the houseboat stay and Shikara ride on Dal Lake were truly magical. The team ensured our comfort and safety throughout. Highly recommend them for a hassle-free and unforgettable Kashmir experience!

12 days ago
I recently booked a Gangtok and Darjeeling tour package through Bina Travel, and I must say the experience exceeded my expectations! From the very beginning, their agent, Suman, was incredibly helpful and professional Suman provided detailed information about the itinerary, accommodations, and inclusions in the package. She patiently answered all my queries and customized the trip to fit my preferences. The booking process was seamless, and she kept me updated at every step. In Gangtok, we visited places like Tsomgo Lake and MG Marg, and in Darjeeling, the sunrise at Tiger Hill and a ride on the Toy Train were the highlights. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, giving us enough time to explore and relax. Suman stayed in touch throughout the trip to ensure everything was going smoothly. She was quick to resolve minor hiccups, showing genuine care for our experience. Bina Travel and Suman made this trip memorable and hassle-free. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Gangtok and Darjeeling. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly service are truly commendable. Thank you, Suman and Bina Travel, for an unforgettable vacation!

Saharshjain's 8 days trip to Europe

16 days ago
"A thousand thanks to wiseyatra first for making our trip so memorable. Still everyday I miss Paris and switzerland. We found WiseYatra via travel triangle and were in initial discussion about Paris and switzerland trip with them. We took passport and land package from them. I must say they are very professional and quite cheap when compared to other tours companies. Discussions: We had very long calls and frequesnt changes in plan regarding days and which cities or places to visit, they entertained all of them and made better plan on every change. We called them lot of times for testimonials and changes and they were happy to do it. They didnt force us for anything infact suggested better places than what we had in mind . Itinerary: simply the most detailed itinerary I have ever seen. Pictorial representation , bullet list of monuments. Hour wise itinerrary to make you aware of time because you will get lost in beauty. It was a long itinerarry with alternate mode of transports for every connection where possible. Properly given timetables of the trains and next trains that are availabel from your route. They also include scenic/panoramic trains and trust me those were really mazing. That itinerary is solid for few years of travel easily. Their itinerary is so flexible that we could sip or add few things or shuffle and still cover almost all the things. Hotels: We absolutely loved their hotel choices, very close to nature and close to transport places. In all 6-7 cities we had to walk hardly 100 meters for our hotels. In grindelwald we had to 5 steps for railway station. Not sure how they do it but they find the best and closest hotels with amazing view. In lucerne the hotel owner also gave us chocolates. Some of them had bath tub as well and amazin view of street and lakes. Trust me you will love them, close to market, close to transport system and inclusive of breakfast. In paris hotel we got free hot chocolate and sparkling water. Tickets: I must say all tickets we got were flexible and we had to shift paris boat ride to next day due to leg pain from walking. But all tickets were very good and do not forget to take a printout of each ticket. Mt.Titlis or Jugfrau all were flexible so incase weather is not good then also we can go next day. similarly the Swiss Pass was amazing as it gave us free pass to ride anything at any time which helped us in making good decision if something wasn't available or we had some time to kill. Support: WY was available for support at all times, they helped us with us for small queries as well like cash, card, disneyland metrsos, trains to Switzerland etc. Overall very supportive. Prices: The prices were quite cheap considering the trip to one of the most expensive countries in world. When compared to the time we spent and fun we had the price was super cheap. Plus since everything is pre-booked we didnt have to spend anything other than metro and food. I would definitely recommend wise yatra over any other travel service because we were free to do anything in the itinerary other travel we connected with offered us group tours for same rate where we were not able to spend time on a monument as per our wish. I would really recommend them. Infact for our next trip also I am going to go with them."

Dharani's 7 days trip to Kashmir

24 days ago
I recently (23Nov to 29th Nov-24) had the pleasure of visiting Kashmir on a trip organized by Oscar Tours & Travel, and it was truly a memorable experience! From start to finish, everything was seamlessly planned and executed by Irshad. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us ample time to explore the breathtaking beauty of Kashmir—be it the serene Dal Lake, the majestic mountains of Sonamarg, Gulmarg, or the charming valleys of Pahalgam. Every destination was a masterpiece of nature. Multiple options of accommodations were presented by Oscar travels during the planning stage. The accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort and stunning views, and the local Taxi Driver (Mr. Harris ) more like a friend was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. I highly recommend Oscar Tours & Travel to anyone planning a trip to Kashmir. They made my journey a beautiful and stress-free adventure! Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

Knihon's 3 days trip to Kashmir

25 days ago
Kashmir and Pahalgam offer a journey into a breathtaking paradise, where every view feels like a painting come to life. The serene Dal Lake in Srinagar, with its iconic Shikara rides, sets the tone for tranquility and romance. Pahalgam, nestled amidst lush green meadows and surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks, offers an escape into nature's lap. Whether trekking through Aru Valley, enjoying pony rides in Betaab Valley, or simply soaking in the crisp mountain air, every moment feels rejuvenating. The warmth of Kashmiri hospitality, combined with the region's natural splendor, makes this trip unforgettable.

Vidhya's 5 days trip to North East

a month ago
The hotel accommodations were good. All the places we covered - Kaziranga, Dawki, Cherrapunji and Shillong were good! Shillong itenary surely reminds of viewing the 'Scotland of the East'! Spectacular! For trips in the East, it would be good to factor the early sunset, long distances you need to travel and waiting time (places like Kamakya Temple) while planning the itenary. We had to skip lunches for continuous 3 days to ensure itenary is completed. We had to skip Orchid Gardens, Umiyam Lake and Kamakya temple which could have been avoided.
