Lake Tekapo is located on New Zealand’s South Island and is famous for its dreamlike blue-green waters and unspoiled natural scenery. The lake’s unique color comes from sunlight reflecting off fine glacial rock flour. As part of a world-class Dark Sky Reserve, it offers spectacular views of the Milky Way at night. From lakeside walks and photo stops to hiking trips in nearby Mount Cook, a visit to Lake Tekapo is truly worth the journey.
