Tekapo Springs

Experience Tekapo Springs for the perfect mix of relaxation and recreation in beautiful Lake Tekapo in the heart of the South Island!

Enjoy the stunning views from the three hot pools or chill out in the cooler pools with Aqua Play Area. The amazingly soft alpine water is sourced from an underground spring near Tekapo. While it is not geo-thermal, it is exceptionally pure and provides an alpine bathing experience that leaves one refreshed and revitalised. Temperatures range from 28℃ to 38.5℃.

In summer, try the Jumpernaut, a giant inflatable obstacle course and the Aqua Drop, a 150-metre downhill water slide. In winter, experience the thrill of the 150-metre downhill snow tube or ice skate on the scenic outdoor rink.

Treat yourself to a relaxing massage or facial at the beautiful day spa or detox in the steam and sauna rooms with cold plunge pool. Refuel at the Altitude 720 café & bar and try the unique 720 coffee blend, the highest-altitude roasted coffee in New Zealand!

By night, soak in the stars with Tekapo Star Gazing, the only hot pools and stargazing tour in New Zealand! Learn about the night skies with telescopes and a unique fusion of astronomy and storytelling then slip into a 38°C hot pool and admire the amazing skies! Includes additional day time hot pools entry plus free shuttle service within Tekapo and to/from Twizel. Open 364 nights per year.
