What you’ll do

This itinerary is the ultimate way to experience the best of the Autumn Colours on a 7 day journey across the lower central South Island, and is the route I have taken on many of my own personal photography trips. The photos speak for themselves and I can't think of a better way to explore the changing colours of the South Island than by going to these favourite spots of mine.

This adventure will take you to the magnificent Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, through the Mackenzie Country, then on to Wanaka, Milford Sound and finish in Queenstown, covering some of the most incredible photo locations New Zealand has to offer.

This itinerary is designed if you are travelling in a campervan or self driving on a budget.

Start your journey by collecting your rental car and/or camper (if required) and heading to the supermarket to grab food supplies. It is usually cheaper to shop in the bigger cities like Christchurch.

Drive to Lake Tekapo (3 hours)

Check in to the Lakes Edge Tekapo Holiday Park for an overnight stay. If you have time I'd highly recommend Tekapo Springs for a soak and then if you want to catch the sunset head to the Church of the Good Shepherd and/or stay for astrophotography.
