Pukaki

Travel Guide
Lake Pukaki showing a lake or waterhole and tranquil scenes
You’ll be gobsmacked by the shocking blue of beautiful Lake Pukaki.

It's the fine rock particles flowing into Lake Pukaki from neighbouring glaciers that are the reason for its magical blue colour, a phenomenon that both selfie-snappers and expert photographers will want to capture. The snow-capped mountain peaks surrounding the lake amp up the wow factor of this incredible beauty spot. To appreciate the scope of Pukaki’s natural wonders, take a dip in the chilly waters, cycle or walk the track that loops around the lake, or get a view from above during a scenic flight.
