South Island
Lake Tekapo & Aoraki
Dark Sky Reserve
Overview
Lake Tekapo & Aoraki
Lake Tekapo sits inside New Zealand's largest Dark Sky Reserve, where zero light pollution turns the night into a dense field of stars over milky-turquoise glacial water. By day, the lakeside Church of the Good Shepherd and fields of lupins (in summer) frame views straight to Aoraki/Mt Cook, the country's tallest peak. By night, guided observatory tours put the Milky Way, Southern Cross and — on clear nights — the aurora within reach of a telescope.
