About Lake Tekapo Farm Tours:
It’s an absolute privilege and opportunity for Lake Tekapo Farm Tours to show guests around their piece of paradise, so they are humble hosts – welcoming and approachable. They help guest feel comfortable – like part of the Lake Tekapo Farm Tours family. They are also mindful that they share beautiful places with the animals that live there, so they work to protect and nurture the environments they operate in.
Who says you can’t go off-road in style? Our comfortable 12-seater 4WD Mercedes Sprinter van is equipped to journey on the smooth and bumpy roads of this vast 25,000-acre property located just outside of Tekapo. The windows are plenty big so everyone has views of the stunning scenery on the drive out to our favourite spots. Our tours are capped at 11 people so you can enjoy the best of both worlds; small numbers and big scenes. Jump onboard and listen to your guide detail the history of Tekapo while you head towards your first stop, historic Mt John station. Spot some of the farm residents along the way, consisting of 5,500 Merino sheep, 240 Angus cows, 100 Red deer, 30 alpacas, 25 horses and 15 working dogs.
Discover the story behind Irishman Creek Hut and learn about the forestry and football-sized pine-cones. Take in the majestic mountain views while heading to your next stop, the picturesque Swan Tarn, an alpine gem with the Southern Alps and Aoraki Mt Cook as its backdrop. Grab some binoculars and see if you can spot the endangered Black Stilt bird that has made this beautiful tarn it's home.
Pass by the horse ranch and say hello to the famous horses who recently starred in the new Disney adaptation of Mulan before heading towards Mt John lookout which is possibly one of the most breathtaking stops on this epic journey. Enjoy your private location on this mountain where you'll not only learn all about the lake that put Tekapo on the map but also get the chance to have some fun, get into the spirit and dress like a farmer for a hilarious photo opportunity.
Head back to the office where your last stop will be to get up close and personal with some of the friendly farm animals. Meet Whiskey the Pig, the new lambs and the other farmyard favourites, like the alpacas. They'll provide the treats, you just need to provide the hands. By the end of this tour, you'll have a cache of amazing pictures, feeling educated, and have made some new furry friends. This is a tour the whole family will love.
