Hot springs in Lake Tekapo

Tekapo Springs features three beautifully tiered hot pools shaped like the region's distinctive glacial lakes, overlooking the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo and the Two Thumb mountain range. The pure alpine water is drawn from a local underground source and heated cleanly to varying therapeutic temperatures. The site functions as a multi-use winter and summer recreation park, offering an aqua play area, day spa, glice skating rink, and tube rapids. Located inside the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, it is highly famous for its evening stargazing soaking tours where visitors float on mats while learning about astronomy. The facilities are highly modern and completely accessible with well-maintained changing zones.
