Day 13

Hooker Valley - Lake Tekapo - Christchurch

After breakfast, enjoy the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana on one of the best day hikes - wind up the Hooker Valley (4 Hours) past alpine streams and glaciers in the shadow of Aoraki/Mount Cook. From the first of three swing bridges along the way, enjoy the views over the Mueller Lake and listen for the rumbling of avalanches from the distant Mount Sefton. Try to spot them before they crash into the Mueller Glacier below. After crossing the Hooker River, the track goes between old moraine ridges and humps. From the second swing bridge, the vegetation changes to more open tussock and a wider valley floor. A third swing bridge leads to the East Hooker and the source of the Hooker River. The track ends with an amazing view over the iceberg-speckled Hooker Lake and up to majestic Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana. Return on the same track, enjoying more views down valley and across to the Sealy Range. The best time to walk this stunning track is at dawn when you can view the first rays of the sun creeping over the Southern Alps, including over New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook. Early risers will be rewarded (so get up early and get going) with the serenity of sharing the track with only a handful of other walkers along its 10km length. Later, after lunch, proceed to Lake Tekapo - A remarkable turquoise coloured lake adds to the mountainous drama of the Southern Alps. Lake Tekapo gets its intense milky-turquoise colour from the fine rock-flour (ground by glaciers) which is suspended in the water. Lake Tekapo is in the Dark Sky Reserve & is one of the darkest areas on Planet Earth. Later, proceed towards Christchurch for overnight stay
