All Trip Moments about Lindis Pass
New Zealand South Island|Lindis Pass|Classic mountain pass scenery, quiet shock on the vast road ❄️🛣️
🗺 Itinerary | A must-go place when driving in the South Island
On the way from Tekapo or Wanaka to Queenstown, you will pass through Lindis Pass when driving on Highway 8. This is the highest point of the entire journey and one of the most amazing scenery for many travelers when driving by themselves. We deliberately slowed down the car before arriving, stopped briefly at the mountain pass, and felt the tranquility surrounded by mountains.
🚗 Traffic information | Located in the middle of SH8 State Road
Lindis Pass is located on SH8 in the interior of the South Island. It can be easily reached from Tekapo, Wanaka or Cromwell. There is no need to take an extra detour along the way. It is one of the most recommended viewing spots for self-driving people. There is a viewing parking area at the mountain pass. It is recommended to go there when the weather is stable.
🌄 Recommended reason | The moment closest to the sky
Standing at the pass viewing point and looking around, there is a golden grassland with no end in sight and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The wind is very cold, but the view is extremely wide, which makes people hold their breath unconsciously. The weather was sunny on our first visit, with excellent visibility. In this vast landscape, my body and mind seemed to relax. This is the purest magic of New Zealand's nature.

We went on an amazing road trip through New Zealand’s South Island, starting from Queenstown and driving through the beautiful Lindis Pass. The scenery along the way was breathtaking, with rolling hills, vast plains, and everywhere you looked, there were sheep and cows grazing peacefully. It felt like a classic New Zealand countryside scene, with endless stretches of green fields dotted with livestock.
We stopped for a night at Aoraki/Mount Cook, where we were surrounded by the stunning mountain landscape—an incredible place to unwind and enjoy nature. Our road trip ended in Christchurch, but the entire journey was filled with spectacular views. From the pastoral charm of the farms to the towering mountains, the South Island offers unforgettable scenery at every turn.
