Discover some of the bird life on the farm at one of the tarns you will pass, whilst passing through the scenery all around Mount Edward and the Tekapo saddle. Hold on to your seats as we then climb Mount Hay where you have fantastic views back to the Lake Tekapo Township, Mount John, along the lake and into the Aoraki Mount Cook national park!

Explore Phantom Lagoon next, with its beautiful waters in a scenic location and enjoy small refreshments. After this, you will hear the stories of Boundary Creek Hut and finish the tour with stunning views down Lake Tekapo as you make the steep descent back to town.
