Discover the historic Church of the Good Shepherd - a beloved icon perched on the shores of Lake Tekapo in New Zealand’s South Island. With sweeping views of the turquoise lake and Southern Alps, it’s one of the most photographed spots in the Canterbury region - and it’s easy to see why!

Built in 1935 from local stone, the church was designed to blend seamlessly into its majestic surroundings and reflect the quiet strength and simplicity of early settlers in the Mackenzie Country. Just nearby, you’ll also find the bronze sheepdog statue – honouring the working dogs that helped shape this region.

Many of our tours pause here to soak in the serenity, snap some unforgettable photos, and experience the peaceful beauty of this heritage site. Join us and discover the magic for yourself!

🥞🌊 Ever seen nature whip up a stack of pancakes? Check out these amazing shots from one of our team members who recently visited Punakaiki, home to the iconic Pancake Rocks and Blowholes on New Zealand's rugged West Coast! Over millions of years, limestone has been meticulously shaped into layers that rise dramatically from the sea at Dolomite Point. Watch in awe as the sea bursts through underwater channels, sending plumes of water soaring high into the air from vertical blowholes!

We take you to this geological spectacle on many of our tours, offering you the chance to experience the unique beauty of New Zealand in great company and with expert guidance.
