Day Tours From Lake Tekapo And Wanaka

Prices range from $94 to $152 per person. The Tekapo Shuttle starts at $94, From Wānaka 10 Hours starts at $139, and the Carbon Neutral Small Group tour starts at $152. All three offer free cancellation.

Durations run from 5 to 10 hours. The Carbon Neutral Small Group tour takes 5 hours, the Tekapo Shuttle takes 8.5 hours, and From Wānaka 10 Hours takes the full 10 hours.

The Carbon Neutral Small Group tour includes pickup and lunch, with 150 minutes of free time at Mount Cook, and From Wānaka 10 Hours includes lunch with 120 minutes of free time there. The Tekapo Shuttle does not include lunch, so bring your own food. Each itinerary covers the Tasman Glacier walk, mountain weather decides conditions on the day, and the Glacier Explorers boat trip on Tasman Lake is a separate product sold by its operator and not part of any of these day trips.

Start with your departure point: two tours leave from Lake Tekapo and one from Wānaka. For the shortest day, the 5 hour Carbon Neutral Small Group tour fits, while From Wānaka 10 Hours suits a long return day with 120 minutes at Mount Cook. The Tekapo Shuttle is the lowest price at $94 and has a 4.8 rating from 441 reviews, while the Wānaka tour has no reviews yet, so that choice rests on price and schedule.
