Join Magic in discovering the wonders of the newest addition to the itinerary, Lake Tekapo. The township is set next to the lakeside, which gains its unique colour from fine minerals from the rocks being held near the surface of the water, reflecting the sunlight. There are many activities in the town, ranging from scenic flights over Mt Cook and the glaciers in the nearby National Park, horse trekking, kayaking, mini golf, and at night, visit Mt John observatory, which despite its size is able to conduct research due to the incredibly clear starry nights which occur in the region!
Two of the most photographed landmarks in New Zealand are located within Tekapo, the picturesque church of the good shepherd, and the statue of the collie dog on the lakeside. Combined with the reflection of the Southern Alps in the waters of the lake, some of the most breathtaking photos you can take are on offer!
