Lupins Flower-sea

Lake Tekapo in New Zealand is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nature and photography.

The area is famous for its stunning Lupin Flower-sea, which blooms in full beauty in November. The Lupins are an exotic plant, native to North America, which can grow up to 5 feet tall and cover vast areas along riverbeds of Mackenzie Region on the South Island with purple, pink, blue, and yellow hues. The Lupins first flower around Tekapo and the Mackenzie Basin, and then further south as the season progresses.

If you're planning to visit Lake Tekapo to see the Lupins, it's best to go during peak season, which is usually from mid-November until just after Christmas. The Lupins at Lake Tekapo are best in late November, while the flowers hit full bloom a little later the further south you go. However, the best time to absorb Lupin bloom around Wanaka is mid-December. When it comes to finding Lupins in New Zealand, there are plenty of stunning places to choose from. Some of the best locations for Lupin viewing include Mount Cook National Park, Crown Range Road, Ahuriri River, Lake Wanaka, Lake Hawea, and Isthmus Peak Trail. Lake Hawea is different from other sites as it has a mix of Russell and Lupin flowers, which makes for a unique and beautiful view.

If you're looking to capture some unique shots of the Lupins, you can join a photography tour of the world-famous Lupin Flowers at Lake Tekapo. The area is also great for hiking, stargazing, and enjoying the natural beauty of New Zealand.
