Tekapo and surrounds

We spent four nights and very hot days in Tekapo over Christmas. We’ve had quite a few visits to the Mckenzie District but still found plenty of places to explore.

Tasman Glacier – Mount Cook National Park

Recently we were lucky enough to get a flight to the Tasman Glacier which was absolutely amazing!!  If you are in the Mount Cook area and get the chance, budget and weather permitting, take the scenic flight. The scenery is breathtaking and the sheer scale of the glacier is incredible.
