Tekapo: Mt Cook Day Tour with Pukaki, Tasman, & Tekapo Lake: Tekapo Shuttle The word majestic keeps on coming up but our Mount Cook Day Tour included so many majestic moments- beautiful turquoise lakes, snow covered mountains, stone formations, glaciers, wildflowers and more- all of God’s amazing creations on display. The tour included many stopping points for photos and an informative commentary along the trip. Our first stop was Tasman Glacier Viewpoint- after climbing many hundreds of steps we got to the top for a spectacular view. The main part of the day was spent on the Hooker Valley track- 10.4 km long. Spectacular views around every corner- lakes, mountains, glaciers. We even got to hear the glacial ice crack and watched as remnants fell down the mountain. The only criticism I would have is the tour allowed 4 hours for the walk- We are seniors and at our pace we needed more time- we would have loved to have more time to relax, experience and take in every ounce of the magnificent mountain scenery.
