What you’ll do

This itinerary is designed for you to experience the best of the Spring Colours and Lupins on a 4 day journey in the Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook and Mackenzie Basin area of the South Island. I have followed this route year after year to take photos of the beautiful flowers that transform the landscape at this time of year.

They are my favourite locations especially during the November and December Spring months and cover some of the most incredible photo locations New Zealand has to offer.

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