Lake Tekapo

#summervacay Lake Tekapo is one of New Zealand’s most iconic summer destinations, famous for its turquoise waters and fields of blooming lupins (November–January). The Church of the Good Shepherd and the lakeside walking tracks offer beautiful photography spots, while the lake is great for paddleboarding, kayaking, and stargazing under some of the world’s darkest skies. The nearby Mt John Observatory offers unforgettable views during both day and night. Tekapo’s beauty is ethereal in summer—calm, colorful, and incredibly photogenic—making it a favorite stop for romantic getaways and nature-focused holidays.
