Hooker Valley Track - Mount Cook Hiking Route Compared to the Tasman hiking route, this one takes about 4 hours round trip. While Tasman has a beautiful endpoint, Hooker Valley offers more stunning scenery along the way! From the entrance, you will pass three suspension bridges. After crossing the second bridge, the view becomes more expansive. Mount Cook seems to be right in front of you, paired with the golden grasslands bathed in sunlight—it's truly breathtaking. I think the best spot for photos is between the second and third bridges. Although the route is longer, with stops for photos, it feels like just over two hours. Also, remember to use the restroom at the trail entrance!

Traveling to New Zealand under the Aurora is a dreamy and unique experience. The following are relevant introductions and suggestions: 1. Best viewing time: - April to September every year is the best time to watch the Southern Lights in New Zealand. During this period, New Zealand is in the autumn and winter seasons. The nights are longer and the probability of clear skies is higher, which is more conducive to the appearance and viewing of the Aurora. However, the appearance of the aurora is uncertain and requires some luck even during the best viewing period. 2. Best viewing location: - Southern South Island: - Tekapo: This is a famous starry sky town. It is located within the World Dark Sky Reserve. It has little artificial light, high terrain, dry climate and high air transparency. It is an excellent place to watch aurora and starry sky. During the day, you can also enjoy beautiful views of the Church of the Good Shepherd, snow-capped mountains and lakes. - Wanaka (Wanaka): The scenery here is beautiful, and you can take a photo easily.

However, the terrain here is rugged and you need to pay special attention to safety when walking at night. - The Catlins: Located on the southeastern coast of the South Island, it is an excellent destination for encountering the Aurora. There are also many wild animals, as well as natural and natural beauty such as waterfalls, coastal heritage roads, forest petrified remains, and cathedral coast cliff caves. Historic landscape. - Stewart Island: New Zealand's third largest island, located 30 kilometers south of the South Island. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. More than 85% of the area is a national park. The ecological environment is pristine and pure. It is a good place to increase the chance of encountering the Aurora. You can also experience hiking and bird watching. - The southern tip of the North Island: Breaker Bay in Wellington, the southernmost city of the North Island, also has the opportunity to see the aurora.

Travel preparation: - Warm equipment: Aurora viewing is usually at night, and temperatures are low in New Zealand’s autumn and winter. You need to prepare enough warm clothing, such as down jackets, thermal underwear, hats, scarves, gloves, etc. - Photography equipment: If you want to photograph the aurora, you need to bring a professional camera, a tripod and a lens suitable for long exposure. Setting a long exposure can make the colors of the aurora more vivid, and it is recommended to carry spare batteries and memory cards. - Transportation: Some aurora viewing areas are relatively remote. Self-driving is a more convenient mode of transportation. You can freely arrange your itinerary and stay time.

During our road trip across New Zealand's South Island, we were fortunate to witness the lupin flowers in full bloom along the shores of Lake Tekapo. Although lupin flowers are not native to New Zealand and are even considered an invasive species, they have become an iconic part of the Lake Tekapo landscape. Lupin flowers typically bloom in late spring and early summer, carpeting the riverbanks, roadsides, and lakeshores with stunning hues of purple, pink, blue, and white. #flowerblossom #100WaysOfTravel #newzealand #nature #lake #laketekapo #tekapo #lupin #flowers

We were delighted to witness the beautiful lupin flowers in full bloom when we visited Lake Tekapo on New Zealand's South Island in late November. The lupin flowers around Lake Tekapo are a breathtaking sight, especially during late spring and early summer (November to January). These vibrant, colorful flowers create vast, picturesque fields along the lake's shoreline, framed by the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo and the distant Southern Alps. #flowerblossom #100WaysOfTravel #newzealand #nature #lake #laketekapo #tekapo #lupin #flowers

Organize the feelings from New Zealand. A 14-day trip to New Zealand is like falling into Alice's garden. March-May is the autumn in the southern hemisphere. At this time, New Zealand has colorful colors, and the scenery flows between different towns and regions. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Cook in the distance, the layered yellow maple forest in the town... The entire itinerary is mainly concentrated in the South Island of New Zealand. The towns and regions surrounded by nature in autumn all have their own characteristics, refreshing our perception of the scenery for those who are used to living in the city. Even the original camera of the mobile phone can take the color of the reversal film. The blue here is the color set by God for this. ▪️Kaikoura Whale watching is our biggest expectation in the itinerary. Seeing whales jumping out of the sea is a wish that existed in adolescence. The whale watching boat sailed into the deep blue sea, and was surprised to see the moment that has always been remembered. Kaikoura Peninsula Trail is a hiking route I like very much. Here you can overlook the coastline, and there are lazy seals and sea lions sunbathing on the distant reefs. From the seaside to the top of the mountain pasture, the scenery changes with each step, and the scenery in the oil painting is probably like this. ▪️Wanaka Arriving in Wanaka is a sunny afternoon, lying on the lounge chair on the apartment terrace and drowsy. At night by the lake with only moonlight left, he played with the slide in the park, as if he had returned to his childhood. This is our story in the beautiful town. Take a walk by Lake Wanaka in the early morning, the lake is bluer than the sky, reflecting the distant snow-capped mountains, groups of three or two people walking and chatting, and people passing by us from time to time, jogging, walking dogs, riding bicycles... The ducks by the lake are all walking leisurely, feeling the relaxation of Wanaka. ▪️Queenstown The TSS Earnslaw is the only steamship still in operation in the southern hemisphere, as old as the Titanic. Get on the boat on Lake Wakatipu and head to the Walter Peak Mountain Farm on the opposite bank for dinner. Along the way, there are the colorful autumn scenery of Queenstown. Sitting on the deck, the boat slowly sails, feeling the old romance. There is also a commemorative wooden steamship refrigerator sticker on the ship, which is very delicate. The farm also has a wool shearing performance, and the family strolls around the cute little sheep's peripheral shop, which is so good that it almost missed the return ship... In the farm surrounded by mountains and lakes, watching the golden sunset and the blue coast, it’s just beautiful to be in a daze~ ▪️Hobbiton™ Movie Set The North Island has rich geothermal landscapes and Maori culture. What impressed me most was Hobbiton. The "Lord of the Rings" and other series of movies were filmed here. There are scattered hobbit huts on the hillside, and there are smoking chimneys on the roof, as if entering the story in the movie. Looking at the photos of New Zealand, I still feel the breath of every beautiful scenery. I want to go back and take a walk in the town~

Mount Cook National Park, an hour's journey from Lake Tekapo, is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, which are super spectacular! After a 20-minute walk, I was shocked when I saw the glacier!

Really, other than wow, I can't think of any words to describe my mood at the time. Blue penguins return to their nests, watch at close range, and there are small seals on the shore.

#wheretogo When we heard of Lake Tekapo, New Zealand, only two things came into our minds - stargazing and hotspring. This spot is very photogenic both day and night. It is also art of a UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve, making it the perfect spot for stargazing. During the day, we looked from the beautiful Church of the Good Shepherd across the turquoise coloured lake to the mountainous drama of the Southern Alps. The scenery was stunning！I would advised to get there early in the morning as crowds started to come in the late morning. The legendary night sky in Lake Tekapo offers the perfect opprtunity to spot stars. It is something that we can hardly do in other countries.#timetotravel #newzealand #stargazing

#newzealandtrip Located in the heart of New Zealand’s South Island, Lake Tekapo is a hidden gem that left me in awe of nature’s beauty. Known for its striking blue waters and stunning alpine backdrop, it’s a place where tranquility reigns, and the landscape feels like something out of a dream. The journey to Lake Tekapo was an adventure in itself. After a scenic drive through the rolling hills and rugged terrain of the Mackenzie Basin, I arrived at the lake. The journey was well worth it, as I was immediately captivated by the lake’s vibrant turquoise hue. The color comes from the fine particles of glacial rock flour suspended in the water, which give the lake its unique and surreal appearance. During my visit, I was lucky enough to experience the bloom of lavender, which added a burst of purple to the already picturesque scene. The fields surrounding the lake were covered in fragrant lavender, creating a stunning contrast against the blue waters and the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps in the distance. It was the perfect time to capture the beauty of this place, and I spent hours wandering through the fields, taking in the views and the soothing aroma. One of the highlights of Lake Tekapo is the Church of the Good Shepherd, which sits on the edge of the lake, offering a stunning view. The quaint stone church, with its simple yet charming architecture, is an iconic spot for photos. Inside, the peaceful atmosphere made it a lovely place for quiet reflection, with the lake’s sparkling blue waters visible through the large windows. As I explored the area further, I found myself appreciating the remote yet welcoming feeling of Lake Tekapo. Whether it was the pristine lake, the picturesque lavender fields, or the surrounding mountains, every corner of this place offered something to admire. Lake Tekapo is also a perfect destination for stargazing. The area is part of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, one of the best stargazing spots in the world. Though my visit was during the day, I could easily imagine how the night sky would come alive with stars. If you’re planning a trip to New Zealand, Lake Tekapo should definitely be on your list. It’s an idyllic escape into nature, where you can experience the beauty of the landscape, relax, and recharge in the peaceful surroundings. Whether you’re a photography enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply in search of a serene getaway, Lake Tekapo offers something for everyone.

My visit to this iconic New Zealand destination was a delightful mix of breathtaking landscapes, tranquil walks, and awe-inspiring mountain views, all easily accessible for hikers of all levels. I chose to explore the Hooker Valley Track, a well-maintained trail that offers incredible scenery without the need for intense effort. The journey began with an easy stroll through the valley, surrounded by towering peaks, rugged terrain, and the distant sound of glacial rivers. The air was crisp and fresh, a perfect companion to the gentle rhythm of my hike. The trail crossed several suspension bridges, each one offering unique views of the rushing waters below and the snow-capped mountains above. I paused often to take in the surroundings—glacial streams shimmering under the sunlight and the rugged peaks of Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand’s tallest mountain, standing proud against a vibrant blue sky. The highlight of the walk was reaching the Hooker Lake, where icebergs floated serenely in glacial waters. The reflection of Aoraki/Mount Cook in the lake was nothing short of magical, a moment that truly felt like a reward for my journey. Sitting by the lake, I soaked in the serenity and let the magnificence of the landscape leave its mark. This easy hike didn’t just offer stunning views; it provided a sense of connection to the natural world. The path was dotted with interpretive signs sharing insights about the region’s geology, flora, and history, enriching the experience with a deeper understanding of the park’s beauty. Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park is a must-visit for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in New Zealand’s natural splendor. The combination of accessible trails, jaw-dropping scenery, and the peaceful ambiance of the Hooker Valley Track made this hike a highlight of my trip—a perfect way to experience the raw beauty of the Southern Alps without venturing into challenging terrain. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or simply looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience, this trek offers an easy yet rewarding way to appreciate the majestic landscapes that define New Zealand’s alpine regions. From the striking contrasts between the lush valleys and the snow-dusted peaks to the stillness of Hooker Lake, every step along the track felt like an invitation to pause, reflect, and simply appreciate the vastness of nature. As I made my way back, the golden light of the late afternoon bathed the mountains in a warm glow, adding a final touch of magic to an already memorable adventure.
