[2025 Gammack Attraction] Travel Guide for Aoraki / Mount Cook (Updated Apr)

Traveling to New Zealand under the Aurora is a dreamy and unique experience. The following are relevant introductions and suggestions: 1. Best viewing time: - April to September every year is the best time to watch the Southern Lights in New Zealand. During this period, New Zealand is in the autumn and winter seasons. The nights are longer and the probability of clear skies is higher, which is more conducive to the appearance and viewing of the Aurora. However, the appearance of the aurora is uncertain and requires some luck even during the best viewing period. 2. Best viewing location: - Southern South Island: - Tekapo: This is a famous starry sky town. It is located within the World Dark Sky Reserve. It has little artificial light, high terrain, dry climate and high air transparency. It is an excellent place to watch aurora and starry sky. During the day, you can also enjoy beautiful views of the Church of the Good Shepherd, snow-capped mountains and lakes. - Wanaka (Wanaka): The scenery here is beautiful, and you can take a photo easily. The best place to watch the aurora is Eely Point, which is within walking distance from the center of Wanaka. You can enjoy the beautiful starry sky at night. This is also a paradise for ski enthusiasts, and there are a wealth of outdoor activities to participate in during the non-Aurora viewing season. - Aoraki/Mt Cook: Mount Cook National Park is a dark sky reserve with no light pollution, and you can see the beautiful starry sky and aurora. However, the terrain here is rugged and you need to pay special attention to safety when walking at night. - The Catlins: Located on the southeastern coast of the South Island, it is an excellent destination for encountering the Aurora. There are also many wild animals, as well as natural and natural beauty such as waterfalls, coastal heritage roads, forest petrified remains, and cathedral coast cliff caves. Historic landscape. - Stewart Island: New Zealand's third largest island, located 30 kilometers south of the South Island. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. More than 85% of the area is a national park. The ecological environment is pristine and pure. It is a good place to increase the chance of encountering the Aurora. You can also experience hiking and bird watching. - The southern tip of the North Island: Breaker Bay in Wellington, the southernmost city of the North Island, also has the opportunity to see the aurora. It has beautiful white sand beaches and clear water. While admiring the aurora, you can also feel the vitality and multiculturalism of the city. 3. Travel preparation: - Warm equipment: Aurora viewing is usually at night, and temperatures are low in New Zealand’s autumn and winter. You need to prepare enough warm clothing, such as down jackets, thermal underwear, hats, scarves, gloves, etc. - Photography equipment: If you want to photograph the aurora, you need to bring a professional camera, a tripod and a lens suitable for long exposure. Setting a long exposure can make the colors of the aurora more vivid, and it is recommended to carry spare batteries and memory cards. - Transportation: Some aurora viewing areas are relatively remote. Self-driving is a more convenient mode of transportation. You can freely arrange your itinerary and stay time. If you don’t want to drive yourself, you can also choose to join a local Aurora viewing group. - Accommodation arrangements: Book accommodation close to the aurora viewing area in advance so that you can go to watch the aurora in time when it appears. Some hotels or B&Bs that provide aurora viewing services are also good choices. They may provide relevant information and reminders. 4.

In short, traveling to New Zealand under the aurora requires planning and preparation in advance, while maintaining patience and flexibility in order to encounter the beautiful aurora at the right time and place.

Organize the feelings from New Zealand. A 14-day trip to New Zealand is like falling into Alice's garden. March-May is the autumn in the southern hemisphere. At this time, New Zealand has colorful colors, and the scenery flows between different towns and regions. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Cook in the distance, the layered yellow maple forest in the town... The entire itinerary is mainly concentrated in the South Island of New Zealand. The towns and regions surrounded by nature in autumn all have their own characteristics, refreshing our perception of the scenery for those who are used to living in the city. Even the original camera of the mobile phone can take the color of the reversal film. The blue here is the color set by God for this. ▪️Kaikoura Whale watching is our biggest expectation in the itinerary. Seeing whales jumping out of the sea is a wish that existed in adolescence. The whale watching boat sailed into the deep blue sea, and was surprised to see the moment that has always been remembered. Kaikoura Peninsula Trail is a hiking route I like very much. Here you can overlook the coastline, and there are lazy seals and sea lions sunbathing on the distant reefs. From the seaside to the top of the mountain pasture, the scenery changes with each step, and the scenery in the oil painting is probably like this. ▪️Wanaka Arriving in Wanaka is a sunny afternoon, lying on the lounge chair on the apartment terrace and drowsy. At night by the lake with only moonlight left, he played with the slide in the park, as if he had returned to his childhood. This is our story in the beautiful town. Take a walk by Lake Wanaka in the early morning, the lake is bluer than the sky, reflecting the distant snow-capped mountains, groups of three or two people walking and chatting, and people passing by us from time to time, jogging, walking dogs, riding bicycles... The ducks by the lake are all walking leisurely, feeling the relaxation of Wanaka. ▪️Queenstown The TSS Earnslaw is the only steamship still in operation in the southern hemisphere, as old as the Titanic. Get on the boat on Lake Wakatipu and head to the Walter Peak Mountain Farm on the opposite bank for dinner. Along the way, there are the colorful autumn scenery of Queenstown. Sitting on the deck, the boat slowly sails, feeling the old romance. There is also a commemorative wooden steamship refrigerator sticker on the ship, which is very delicate. The farm also has a wool shearing performance, and the family strolls around the cute little sheep's peripheral shop, which is so good that it almost missed the return ship... In the farm surrounded by mountains and lakes, watching the golden sunset and the blue coast, it’s just beautiful to be in a daze~ ▪️Hobbiton™ Movie Set The North Island has rich geothermal landscapes and Maori culture. What impressed me most was Hobbiton. The "Lord of the Rings" and other series of movies were filmed here. There are scattered hobbit huts on the hillside, and there are smoking chimneys on the roof, as if entering the story in the movie. Looking at the photos of New Zealand, I still feel the breath of every beautiful scenery. I want to go back and take a walk in the town~

🌟 Highlights: Spectacular fjords and glaciers, beautiful and magical beaches, indigenous Maori culture, and fairy-tale-like lakes and mountains... If you're in the mood, add a dash of courage, and you can challenge yourself at the birthplace of bungee jumping. This is New Zealand, the 'Middle-earth' of the movie The Hobbit, a must-visit destination on countless people's travel lists. ❤ Recommended Reason: Stargazing in the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve, bathing in the brilliant Milky Way of the Southern Hemisphere! New Zealand's South Island is designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve, the largest of its kind in the world. The Dark Sky Reserve includes most of the area around Tekapo and Mount Cook, and is rated as 'one of the best stargazing sites on Earth.' Have a spiritual conversation with the universe under the clear and pristine dark sky, and feel this unparalleled romance and the stunningly beautiful scenery that seems like a fairyland. 👍 Most Recommended: Lake Tekapo The first image many people recognize of New Zealand is the Church of the Good Shepherd bathed in starlight under a dazzling starry sky, with clusters of lupins blooming quietly. Lake Tekapo, with its high altitude and dry climate, boasts the highest sunshine rate in New Zealand, making it especially suitable for stargazing. 👍 Most Recommended: Queenstown Queenstown is not only a paradise for extreme sports but also an easy place to stargaze. In the evening, take the Queenstown Skyline Gondola to the top of Queenstown Hill, and you can overlook the town of Queenstown as the lights come on. An inadvertent glance upward reveals a sky bathed in brilliant stars. 👍 Most Recommended: Mount Cook Besides the popular stargazing by Lake Tekapo, many photographers also recommend Mount Cook for stargazing. Mount Cook is a paradise for hikers, with multiple hiking trails that take you into the glaciers and snow-capped mountains of Mount Cook. Far from towns and with less light pollution, the majestic Mount Cook makes the starry sky atmosphere even more serene and spectacular. 👍 Most Recommended: Stewart Island Officially rated as the world's fifth International Dark Sky Reserve and the second island reserve. It is uninhabited and closest to Antarctica, so the sky is exceptionally pure.

Looking out from the window of the church altar, you can also see the magnificent scenery of the Southern Alps, many newlyweds will choose to get married here!

There are many trails on Mount Cook. Red Tarns is the trail down the mountain. The open scenery along the way is refreshing. It is obviously different from the way you go into the mountains at Kea Point and Hooker Valley. This is the lower reaches of the glacier, and many gravels can be seen in the melted river channel. #SouthIsland #MountCook #NewZealand

Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand,it is also a favourite challenge for mountain climbers.

Our last hike in New Zealand was an unforgettable journey to Sealy Tarns in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Known as the 'Stairway to Heaven,' this hike features a grueling 2,000-step staircase leading to breathtaking views. I tackled this challenge with friends from Taiwan and Malaysia, making it even more memorable. We started early, enjoying perfect weather and a cool breeze. The first section was easy, but the steep stairs quickly tested our endurance. Frequent breaks allowed us to admire Mount Cook’s towering peak and the stunning valley below. Reaching Sealy Tarns felt incredibly rewarding. The small alpine lakes reflected the surrounding mountains beautifully. We rested, took photos, and soaked in the peaceful atmosphere before beginning the tough descent. This hike was a true test of perseverance, but the breathtaking scenery and shared experience made it unforgettable. Sealy Tarns was the perfect final adventure in New Zealand. #travel #thingstodo #hiking
