NZ Must Do - Hooker Valley Track, Mt Cook (Aoraki) National Park
The Hooker Valley Track is the most popular short hike in Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. It's an absolute must do when visiting the beautiful Mackenzie Region in the South Island of New Zealand.
Our accommodation was in Twizel, so before we set out for the day, we had breakfast nearby at the Musterers Hutt. Friendly staff, great food and they even have an 18 hole mini golf course out front.
Musterers Hutt
Address: 20 Ruataniwha Road, Twizel 7901
After breakfast we headed over to the Mount Cook National Park Visitor Centre to have a look around and get recommendations on what other short track we could fit into our day trip. Straight after that, we drove over to park at White Horse Hill Campsite which is the start of the Hooker Valley Track.
While Aoraki Mount Cook is NZ's tallest mountain, the Tasman Glacier is New Zealand's longest and largest glacier. The short but steep walk to the Tasman Glacier lookout viewpoint is definitely worth doing for more spectacular views. Just be prepared for a lot of stairs!

Road Trip to Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook | New Zealand
We did this road trip to Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook in New Zealand and it was amazing! So many great landscapes!
We started our trip to lake tekapo where we spent the night and watched the stars nearby the lake tekapo. Lake tekapo is part of UNESCO stargazing places so if you are there wake up in the middle of the night and look up!
Next stop in our road trip in New Zealand was the Lake pulaski and the mount cook. We only say the mount cook from far because we did not have more time and we had to get back to Christchurch, so we stayed south of the lake pukaki and took amazing pictures there.
If you are wondering what to do in New Zealand, don't worry there is plenty of things to do in New Zealand. Roadtrip in new zealand are very famous because you can see a lot of things as the county is massive.

AORAKI / MT COOK NATIONAL PARK /// NEW ZEALAND TRAVEL VLOG
Welcome to Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park! In this New Zealand Travel Vlog, we would love to share our experience of exploring one of the most unique and picturesque places not only in the country but actually anywhere in the world. We decided to spend a couple of days in this national park and find out some of the best walking tracks, where to eat in Mt Cook Alpine Village and also some of the accommodation options. Watch our new travel video to find out more!
South Island of New Zealand is one of the most picturesque places in the world. As we were doing a month-long road trip there, it was absolutely crucial to spend a couple of days in Aoraki Mt Cook National Park to get the ultimate experience. This was our second time here, a couple of years ago we briefly visited the park to do a Tasman Glacier Tour. This time, we wanted to explore walking tracks as the views there are out of this world.
One of the short walks you can do in Mt Cook National Park is Kea Point Track. It takes about 30 minutes to get from the carpark to the scenic lookout or approximately 1-1,5 hours from the village. The walking track is easy and suits the whole family. In winter, there can be snow, which is something you need to be ready for when packing your gear. We had just a couple of layers on as we had our snowboarding gear with us and we were fine. When you get to the lookout, you are rewarded with stunning views of Mount Cook and Mt Sefton as well as a beautiful turquoise glacier lake. If you're lucky, there may be some keas to entertain you, but we didn't see any.
The most popular walking track in Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park is the Hooker Valley Track. It takes approximately 3 hours to complete this track and return to the carpark. It takes you to the Alpine Memorial, via valleys, bridges, streams and lakes to the big Hooker Lake. When you get to the lookout and picnic area, you see the glacier in the distance and can overview this amazing lake covered in icebergs. You can also get close to the lake edge (just be very careful) and touch some of the ice that was part of this big glacier some time ago. Also lots of wonderful photo opportunities on your way!
Aoraki / Mt Cook is one of the most epic New Zealand places and we enjoyed our stay there a lot. We hope you find this travel vlog useful and enjoy the footage we filmed for you. This video is available in Ultra-HD 4K.
PS: this 30-day New Zealand road trip was taking place when NZ was in Alert Level 1, so all the requirements were fulfilled. If you would like to travel during other alert levels, make sure to check the requirements and please stay safe.
