With 360° views of the southern alps by day and the ethereal beauty of expansive starscapes by night, Lake Tekapo is truly one of New Zealands "must see" destinations. A UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve, makes it the perfect spot for stargazing and with its intense milky-turquoise colour that comes from the fine rock-flour (ground by glaciers) which is suspended in the water it doesn't matter if you are looking up or down you are guaranteed to be blown away!
