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.

Dr's 6 days trip to Uttarakhand

Booked a trip for Uttarakhand (Nainital Ranikhet Almora Kausani) within a very short notice. Arrangements made by tripsailer.com was awesome. Everything went smooth starting from stays upto conveyance.. all the hotels were just fantastic with perfect hill view.. just didn't like the cottage at Ranikhet..its location was also not so good..far away from main city, though view was good but the hotel packed in service, maintenance and food. Stay in nainital was the best part, near the mall road with perfect lake and hill view..loved the place..

Somanath's 9 days trip to Nepal

My travel was ok. The cab driver used to open the door during driving to spit due to tobaco consumption by him, which was not good. The travel agent couldn't provide me triple bedded room in India like Nepal. After argument he provided me 4 bedded room in Ayodhya but double bedded room in last day of travel in Varanasi. The price was ok and rest of the services are ok. The driver taken me to all places as agreed and polite in behavior. He was supportive. The hotel rooms cleanliness could have been better. Only one place was memorable that was Bojinee resort in Nepal Nepal Tour like Phewa lake, Mahendra cave, Gupteshwara, Bojinee resort, Sanga Mahadev and hanging bridge, Manakamana temple cable car, Pokhra trip, Bhaktapur Durbar, Pashupatinath, Ayodhya Ram Mandir, Kashi Vishwanath, Ganga Aarti etc. Mind blowing trip. Faced difficulty due to very bad road from Kathamandu to Pokhra.

Shivanshu's 4 days trip to Tamil Nadu

Our Driver Harsha Vardhan assigned for the entire trip did an amazing job. Special appreciation to him for making our trip memorable and easy. Our package was good but the itinerary could have been better with Coonoor toy train on last day rather than 3rd day as we had to comeback to Ooty all the way. And again go to the same route to reach Coimbatore airport. Hotel La Ruchi de Prince was very good including the wide range of delicious breakfast and the 5 star services. When we reached Hotel Kemps cave in Ooty on our 2nd day, we were shifted to Hotel Baron beside it but the rooms were good as per 3 star. But the food needs to be improved a lot as the dinner we had there was not that great. Due to which on 3rd day we had dinner at Anand Bhavan and it was super delicious. Overall it was a good experience and a memorable family trip. Ooty Lake boating was good. Pykara Waterfalls and lake can be avoided. Mysore palace was very photogenic. Mysore Zoo was good but you need atleast 2-3 hours to roam there.

Puneet's 5 days trip to Europe

I am writing this thank you note for Shubham for organising a very detailed tailored made tour to Switzerland and Paris. Day wise itinerary was so perfect that we could cover maximum places around Switzerland and Paris . My personal thanks to Shubham Sagar for providing constant support throughout booking process. Eiffel tower is always a special destination for couples and I was overjoyed by seeing the full paris view from top of the tower.Disneyland was a dream destination and I was thrilled to visit both the parks as provided in itinerary meeting lot of disney characters and enjoying roller coasters rides based on Disney and Avengers theme.Switzerland will always be special. it was my first ever holiday . Lucerne was amazing, I call it the city with lake and mountains. Walking through old town admiring each building is truly an amazing experience. A walk along lake Lucerne holding hands with my wife was truly romantic with the sun setting in the background. Mt titlis was beautiful and the air gondola gives you a 360 degree view of the surrounding Swiss Alps. You cannot resist the Swiss chocolates and cheese . Thanks Shubham for such a wonderfull trip . The best memories would include Top view of Eiffel Tower, the Fireworks show in Disneyland and Top of Mount Titlis.

Guru's 5 days trip to Ladakh

Everything was exceptional except for Stay at Pangong lake, which was horrible, no water connection in the room be it in handwashing or in commode, no flush, no power after 10pm, While the host went out of their way in providing bucket of water, and being extremely courteous, somehow the arrangement does not fit for tourist Both Stanzin our driver and Shifali from Tripita were exceptional. All other hotel, travel planning was just great.
