We caught up with the rain and were always worried that it would be cancelled or we could not see the whale. Fortunately, we set off on time, and saw the third stop, which was a bit far away! Need a telescope or telephoto lens"Kaikoura>100km from ChristchurchHighlights: Get up close and personal with the world's largest toothed predator, the giant sperm whale.

There is a small town on the south side of the lake, sparsely populated, and the mountains in the distance are covered with snow, like a paradise. 1. The mysterious beauty of Lake Tekapo Lake Tekapo is famous for the mysterious beauty of the color of the lake. Due to the melting of the glaciers in the Southern Alps into the lake, the rocks in the glaciers are broken into fine powder, so the color of the lake appears A navy blue with a creamy white. 2. Surrounding attractions can take a walk along the lakeside trail, breathe fresh air, feel the embrace of nature, and enjoy the beauty of the lake. There is a small Shepherd's Church by the lake, which is a complete stone church overlooking the entire Lake Tekapo. It was built in 1935 to commemorate the pioneers. Sitting in the church, you can overlook Lake Tekapo and the Southern Alps in the distance through the window. Not far from the church, you can see a statue of a shepherd dog, which is a tribute to the faithful friends of the highland shepherds. 3. One of the best places to watch the stars The area around Lake Tekapo is one of the best places to watch the Southern Cross. Every year, a large number of starry sky lovers go to watch the stars at night or shoot star trails. There are mysterious southern hemisphere stars that tourists from the northern hemisphere cannot see, especially in winter, and there is a high chance of witnessing the aurora.

- 8.44.7/5412 Reviewbased on 2133 reviews"located at lake tekapo, just a good looking small nice church. had a quick stop here. good to take a photo with the kid."Lake Tekapo>100km from ChristchurchHighlights: Located high on the shores of Lake Tekapo, the Church of the Good Shepherd was built in 1935 and named after a sculpture of a shepherd dog. Made entirely of rock blocks, this church is a classic postcard view of Lake Tekapo. At night, the church under the stars is even more beautiful, and it is also an excellent location for shooting star trails. 1. The appearance of the church is primitive and simple. Although it is not big, it has a unique flavor. The area of the church is only 20 to 30 square meters, which is very small. There is a small stone cross on the north roof, a small bell tower on the west side of the south roof, and a small bronze bell hangs in the arched wall hole. The outer wall of the entire church is a random combination of the original dark gray, light gray, cyan and brown of the rock, while the roof is a black stone piece. Such a primitive and rustic appearance makes it special in this open lakeside wilderness. Harmony and harmony. Although the church is small, it is very famous. During the day, there will be buses with tour groups arriving one after another. At night, you often encounter people who bring professional photography equipment to take pictures of the stars. Walking into the church, there are five or six rows of benches on the left and right sides. From the middle aisle to the pulpit by the window, a cross ten centimeters high stands in front of the glass window, against the light, outside the window is the blue sky and white clouds and the lake water. Great view, with views of Mount Cook in the distance. 2. Bronze statue of a shepherd dog next to the church A towering bronze statue of a shepherd dog can be seen not far from the church. It is used to commemorate the contribution made by the shepherd dog to protecting the flock. The statue is also engraved with "No Shepherd". Dogs, there would be no small town today" and other words. 3. Look up at the starry sky and watch the unique astronomical scene. If you plan to go here in the middle of the night, you need to check whether the weather is fine in advance. When you lie on a bench by the lake and look up at the stars, you can see unique astronomical sights that can only be seen in the southern hemisphere, such as the Southern Cross constellation, the Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way satellite galaxies, etc. If you are lucky, you can even see meteors passing by night sky. With the exception of the Church of the Good Shepherd, the entire Lake Tekapo area is a good spot for stargazing as long as you stay away from street lights. Of course, if the budget is sufficient, you can also sign up for the stargazing cluster on Mount John.Show Less
- 7.84.6/512 ReviewFrom184.24based on 267 reviews"12-20 participate. I have been canceled twice, because it is not that you will definitely be OK at that time after booking. Ctrip contact is only available at 8:30 and 17:30. It is the day after tomorrow. The result is also that I can only choose 8:30, but it is very sunny. There are more people behind. We are the first class. It's pretty good. There is no temperature difference on the top, so you don't need to specially prepare anything to keep warm, just wear a sweater outside, the captain is a shirt. The snow mountain stayed for 15m, and arrived at the front desk to inform 55 minutes of today's cloudy weather. It can only fly for 45 minutes. Yes, the difference between this 45 minutes and 55 minutes is not the time difference of getting off the plane, but the route is different. This Trip.com can't predict, it is all transferred according to the weather at the airport on the same day. Our family of 4 people has a plane. This is not a walk, ask the front desk can walk, I was told that the last few days are full, Ctrip this reservation is only a helicopter circle, if you want to go to his website to book. You can play at the age of 9, walk for 2 hours, it is estimated that it will be very tired. Because it's not snow, he's all melted, and it's cold and frozen at night, it's all ice particles. You can't fight snowballs, you know, it's ice particles."Glentanner>100km from ChristchurchHighlights: Take a scenic helicopter flight over Mount Cook National Park, overlooking the vast glaciers and snowfields, and feel the magnificent landscape surrounded by mountains at a high altitude. After crossing the narrow mountains, the helicopter will land on the high mountains and enjoy the magnificent landscape of Mount Cook Park. .Show Less
