Reviews: Tekapo: Mt Cook Day Tour with Pukaki, Tasman, & Tekapo Lake
Guest User2025-06-04
TJ was a great guide! i felt that the tour was very good and covered many bases that i wouldn’t have been able to see without a car. it was disappointing that the hooker valley track was mostly closed and i wish they’d lowered the price as aoraki/mt cook is the main attraction. that being said, i really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. hopefully ill be able to come back when again to see aoraki/mt cook in its full glory!
