[2024 Gammack Attraction] Travel Guide for Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park (Updated Sep)

God first created New Zealand, then created heaven in its image!

Mount Cook National Park, an hour's journey from Lake Tekapo, is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, which are super spectacular! After a 20-minute walk, I was shocked when I saw the glacier! The god of nature in New Zealand must have used 90% of his miraculous work to carve Mount Cook National Park. The mountains are spectacular and towering into the clouds, the glaciers are blue and green, and I gaze at the waterfall where the snow melts in the distance. Really, other than wow, I can't think of any words to describe my mood at the time. Blue penguins return to their nests, watch at close range, and there are small seals on the shore. Blue penguins are very small, they will return to their nests in groups in batches, very cute. Guys, the scenery in New Zealand is absolutely beautiful, every shot is a blockbuster! Pure starry sky, blue glaciers, flowers all over the mountains, dreamy and magical firefly caves, various grand views of forests, wilderness, snow mountains and fjords... If you don't come once in your life, you will really regret it!

Mt Cook - The Tallest Mountain in NZ!

Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand and also one of the most scenic places to hike at. There are 10 different short walks that you can take from Mount Cook Village, but the most popular one is the Hooker Valley Track. The walk begins at the visitor centre or the White Horse Hill campground/carpark. The track takes about 2-3 hours return and is an easy track with very rewarding views of the snow-capped mountains. Along the way, you will have to walk across three swing bridges and goes along the Hooker River, ultimately leading you to a glacier lake. The glacier lake makes a really great photography spot with the snowy mountains as a backdrop! #momentssg #hiking #nationalpark #scenicspotguide #newzealand

Aoraki and the surround Mt Cook national park is a truly amazing place. With many walks and hikes available, the explorer in you goes crazy for all the wonderful sights you can take in along the way. A simple and easy track to do is the Hooker track. A great walk for all fitness levels and takes a couple of hours round trip. This is truly a magical place and you need to experience it. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Taking a road trip through New Zealand was one of the best decisions I made last year. The neverending beauty of this country is so fascinating.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in the whole world! Mount Cook on the South Island of New Zealand. So much beauty and mountains filled with great hikes!

Fly to Mount Cook on the plane ~ the right way to open New Zealand! Mountain Mount Cook is 3,754 meters above sea level and is the first peak in the southern hemisphere. There are also 18 peaks with a height of more than 3,000 meters. New Zealand is surrounded by the sea and has a humid climate. The snow line is much lower than the snow-capped mountains in western China. Here, we have the opportunity to look at the snow-capped mountains at a distance of 600 meters. Mount Cook has several hiking trails, mainly in two valleys: the Hook Valley and the Tasman Valley. Looking up and down, a blue lake is really beautiful. You can see the most romantic starry sky here at night, the Star River is hot, you are the ideal of the world. [The most shocking way to open a snowy mountain] When watching Mount Cook, its a more shocking way. Of course, take a scenic view of the mountain, and the plane will take you through the O.Ou Mountain Range to Mount Cook. In the heart of the national park, looking down from the plane, you will see magnificent glaciers and flowing ice water. On the return journey, the plane will land on the snow, in the package of the mountains, under the shadow of the white snow, everything around it is particularly beautiful, this is a good time to take pictures. After that, the plane will pass through the collection of glacier water, and the color is beautiful as the emerald Lake Pukaki, perfect!

MountCook National Park is a long and narrow park in the middle of the Southern Alps. The park is 64 kilometers long and has a narrowest area of only 20 kilometers and covers an area of 70,000 hectares. There are snow mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes, forests, and animals and plateau vegetation. The surprise here is unmatched by other places. The summit of Mount Cook, which stands on the top of the peaks, is covered with snow and ice all year round, while in the valleys of the mountains there are many glaciers hidden. On the west is the Hook Grand Glacier, and on the east is the Tasman Glacier. The Tasman Glacier is about 29 kilometers long, 2 kilometers wide and 600 meters deep. It is the longest glaciers in the world except the polar regions. When the color of the red dragonfly is dyed on the white top of Cook's Peak, Rizhao Jinshan is like a date. I don't remember when I saw this scene last time. I only feel the long-lost feeling in my heart. The summit of Mount Cook, which stands on the top of the peaks, is covered with snow and ice all year round, while in the valleys of the mountains there are many glaciers hidden. There is a deep ochre-colored icy lake, a clear green lake, mountains and blue waves, and unlimited scenery. This is my longing for life.

New Zealand's winter is like a silent confession - its "no winter north", snow-capped mountains and colorful festivals... all invite you to New Zealand to create a "summer winter" exclusive memory. We are three holiday families, most of them live in the holiday house. New Zealand's tourism industry is very developed, all accommodations are clean and tidy, and the facilities are complete. The Mount Cook National Park is covered with thick snow in winter and is very beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds. Dress up a fairytale dream with a pure white snow mountain and breathe the cool air of nature on the clear lake. As the sun's rays grow stronger, it always looks forward to the eternal cool and pure kingdom of "Frozen" in the heat, and New Zealand in winter is able to round you a "fairy dream." There is not only a stretch of snow-capped mountains between the sky and the sea, but also the local residents who have been inhabited for a long time in this land. There are millions of mysterious land waving between their wings. A memory of winter.

Today, I traveled to Mount Cook National Park and drove from Tekapo for an hour or so. The time was just right. It will also pass through Lake Pukaki on the road and is one of the most beautiful lakes in New Zealand. Although the blue Tekapo made me marvel, the milk-colored Pukaki is equally shocking. The crystal clear milk blue, sparkling in the sunlight, the sky or dotted with a few clouds, makes people feel refreshed. Mount Cook is part of the world's natural heritage, with the highest point, Mount Cook, at an altitude of 3,724 meters, not only the highest point in New Zealand, but also the highest point in Oceania. There are 23 high mountains in New Zealand with an altitude of over 3,000 meters, 19 of which are here. It is also the New Zealand Mountaineering Center. Taking into account the actual situation of several rookies, we are still clear-cutting a Hooker Valley Track, a classic and not too tired hiking trail. 4 hours of walking, in exchange for the beautiful scenery along the road. Opposite the glacier lake at the end of the road, Mount Cook is unobstructed in front of us.

New Zealand's South Island is indeed stunning

I had various worries before departure, but it turned out to be way beyond expectations. Below are the South Island regions ranked by their level of amazement: Mt Cook P1-P6 - When the weather is good, it's incredibly photogenic. I recommend the Tasman glacier River 25min trail – a round trip of about 45 minutes. The path is easy and not tiring. At the end, you'll see the glacier lake (P1). Additionally, there's a small hill at the top that's great for climbing and taking pictures (P3). - I recommend the 45min helicopter journey! The duration is just right, and you can stop on the snow mountain for 15min. The snow is knee-deep, so be sure to wear waterproof shoes! Saw a lot of pure ice bricks, and the whole world was very peaceful (P6). We flew at 17:30, which is a time when the sunlight isn't blinding, so the photos won't have harsh top light. Pukaki P7 I thought since I was already staying in Tekapo, and Pukaki is also a lake, there wouldn't be much difference. But only after seeing it did I realize that Pukaki is the real showstopper. It's on the way from Tekapo to Mount Cook, and after a few hairpin turns, it suddenly comes into view, shining brightly! The wild grass by the lake also feels very atmospheric. If the wind is calmer, this place would definitely be a world-class spot for wedding photos. Tekapo P8-9 - The lake scenery is indeed a bit less impressive compared to Pukaki, and it's relatively smaller. The famous Church of the Good Shepherd is also quite mini in size. As a base for Mount Cook, it's a great choice. There are lots of homestays along the lake, most with large windows facing the lake view, and the prices are very affordable. - Actually, one of the highlights of Tekapo is stargazing. We happened to be there during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is when the moon is the biggest and brightest of the year, so the stars were slightly less impressive. The Milky Way was faint. However, you can tell that without the moon, the stars here would be stunning. Remember to avoid stargazing around the 15th day of the lunar calendar! The new moon period is the best. Wanaka P10-11 We stopped by on the way to Queenstown, and a quick visit was enough. The town is very relaxed, with a great atmosphere, and a high proportion of local residents (unlike Tekapo, which has more tourists). But there aren't many unique features, and the lone tree can hardly be considered an attraction. I suggest having a Patagonia ice cream and just strolling around the park. If you're short on time, there's no need to stay.

It’s a worthwhile visit after 10 years the scenery is still as wonderful as before. Remember to book the correct hotel. Hermitage motel and hermitage hotel is both sister hotel and show up on the same website. Hermitage hotel is facing directly towards mount cook but hermitage motel is not. Although there is free shuttle bus at your disposal. But still you will wanna wake up and seeing the fabulous scenery of mount cook when u book a hotel. Walk from the hotel to the fist bridge is around 1 hour so be prepared. #mountcook

New Zealand Helicopter Glacier Experience

🌟Highlights: New Zealand is the last pure land in the world. It has all terrains except deserts. New Zealand's glaciers are the only two temperate glaciers in the world (the other temperate glacier country is Chile). New Zealand's glaciers were formed 4000 years ago, due to continuous snowfall at that time, the snow pressure formed glaciers. Many terrains in the South Island of New Zealand are related to the movement of glaciers. Tasman Glacier is located on a mountain about 5000 meters above sea level. It is currently the largest glacier in New Zealand, with a length of about 90 kilometers. Taking a helicopter to watch the whole panorama of Tasman Glacier is a very shocking experience. The whole process is about 45 minutes, including about 10 minutes of glacier landing. After takeoff, you can not only enjoy the largest glacier in New Zealand, but also enjoy the highest peak of New Zealand, Mount Cook. Highly recommended! 📝Note tips: When taking a helicopter to watch the glacier, you cannot bring selfie sticks, carry-on bags, etc. It is recommended to deposit before takeoff. After boarding, you must fasten your seat belt throughout the journey. When landing on the glacier, stand in the front of the plane to avoid being injured by the propeller at the back of the helicopter. 📍Detailed address: Mount Cook National Park
