A complete guide to an 8-day trip to New Zealand

This 8-day New Zealand travel guide is your next stop on your wish list! Each attraction is super amazing for you to experience firsthand the natural wonders and cultural vibes there! -- New Zealand, located at the end of the world in the lower right corner of 🗺, is affectionately known as Middle-earth 🏞️ for its magical scenery and magnificent nature. Home to the Hobbits, the birthplace of indigenous Māori culture, its unique style and history offer novelty and surprises to every traveler who visits. -- 🌟Play Route: Day 1: Christchurch Botanical Garden -> Cathedral Square -> Avon River -> Castle Hill The passionate New Zealand trip begins! Feel the natural beauty and historical imprint of Christchurch. Day 2: Melaleuca->Franz Josef Glacier The unique rhyme of glaciers and rocks. The shock and emotion of the forces of nature. Day 3: Lake Wanaka -> Trees of Wanaka -> Cromwell Town -> AJ Hackett Kawarau Bridge Bungee Jumping Center -> Lake Wakatipu A fun day centered around Lake Wanaka surrounded by the beauty of nature. Day 4: Queenstown -> Free all day Free time all day and enjoy exclusive relaxation in Queenstown. Day 5: Lake Te Anau -> Milford Sound -> Milford Sound Sightseeing Cruise -> Te Anau Firefly Cave Cleverly combining nature and adventure at Lake Te Anau and Milford Sound. Day 6: Baldwin Avenue -> Dunedin Train Station -> Otago Peninsula -> Blue Penguins Pukekura Walk along and feel the historical rhyme of New Zealand and the natural ecology of blue penguins. Day 7: Mount Cook Sightseeing Helicopter Experience -> Lake Tekapo Mount Cook in the air and Lake Tekapo on the lakefront, another perspective, another New Zealand. Day 8: Church of the Good Shepherd Ending our trip, we came to the quiet and peaceful Church of the Good Shepherd to experience this tranquility from within. -- Must-see attractions: 🌊 Milford Fjord: The spectacular blanket woven by the waterfalls, the water trip, is the real play. ⛴️ Milford Fjord Sightseeing Cruise: Even in the fjord, it can be so High~ 🔥Tianao Firefly Cave: After entering the cave...you will see, starlight dotted ~ it's a firefly ~ 🚁 Mount Cook Sightseeing Helicopter Experience: Glacier and snowfield 🏔️, above the ridges, this is a true aerial wonder, an experience you have never had before. -- Tips: 1️⃣ Specialty price: New Zealand's wool products are of super good quality 👍, but the price is a bit expensive 💰. It is recommended that you go to the farm or manufacturer's direct sales store to purchase, it's cheaper🎁. 2️⃣February climate: February is summer in New Zealand☀️, the temperature is around 20-30°C, remember to wear lightweight short-sleeved shorts, and bring sunscreen🧴 to prevent sunburn😎. 3️⃣Airport Transportation: From the airport to the city there are public buses 🚌 and taxis 🚕, you can choose to book pick-up service. I would more recommend the latter, which, while more expensive, is comfortable and convenient. 👌 Remember, be sure to plan before you leave and enjoy your trip to New Zealand! ✈️🍻 -- Every cloud, every piece of grass in New Zealand is worth discovering and experiencing. Pack your luggage, New Zealand is waiting for you to explore 🌈🎒🚙

The Church of the Good Shepherd

Lake Tekapo is calling! Here’s why this slice of New Zealand’s South Island should be on your bucket list: jaw-dropping turquoise waters, epic mountain backdrops, and the totally iconic Church of the Good Shepherd right on the lakeside 😍⛰️ Must-See Places: 1. Lake Tekapo – Kick back by the crystal-clear lake and soak in those serene vibes. The turquoise color is unreal, especially on sunny days. Got time? Wait till nightfall for world-class stargazing under super clear skies. It’s even better if you bring a blanket, a thermos, and just relax! 2. The Church of the Good Shepherd – Find it at Pioneer Drive, Lake Tekapo 7999 (open 9am-8pm, Oct 25–Dec 31). This picturesque stone chapel frames the mountain views perfectly and makes for amazing photos. Pro Tips: - Don’t rush—Tekapo’s peace is best enjoyed slow. Bring snacks or plan a picnic by the water for a local experience. - If you love outdoor dining, grab fresh salmon from a nearby shop (or local market at Lake Pukaki) and set up your own lakeside feast with condiments. It’s the ideal ‘with-a-view’ meal! - The weather can be changeable, so layer up and always have sunblock on hand. Getting Around: Lake Tekapo is tiny—walking or biking is perfect for exploring. If you’ve got a car, short drives nearby reveal incredible scenery and photo ops. Food Recommendations: Try local salmon from the region, best enjoyed outdoors with the lake or mountains as your backdrop. Also check out Tekapo’s village cafes for classic Kiwi eats! Don’t forget your camera—Tekapo is pure postcard magic. #LakeTekapo #NewZealandNature #StargazingNZ #TravelWithTrip #GoodShepherdChurch
