Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand, helped Sir Edmund Hillary to develop his climbing skills in preparation for the conquest of Everest. Muller Hut Route is temporarily closed for day walkers. If you have booked to stay at Mueller Hut, you may still use the track and hut.

Mount Cook village is the key entry point to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park — several short walks and overnight hikes start from the village. It's also well worth visiting for the pristine night sky, and other activities such as boat tours and heli hikes to the Tasman Glacier.

Hike the Hooker Valley track.
Go on a scenic flight.
Spend the night at the Mueller Hut.
Go Skydiving over the Southern Alps.
See the Tasman Glacier.

Stop At: Lake Pukaki, New Zealand

Amazing photo opportunities. Amazing location. The views of Mt Cook are truly spectacular. The visitor centre can be busy worth a lot of tourists. The blue (turquoise) colour is due to fine silt particles, or glacial flour, in the water. This is a result of glacial erosion. The silt is so fine it does not settle to the bottom quickly, remaining in suspension in the lake water.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Hooker Valley Track, Hooker Valley Road, Aoraki Mount Cook National Park (Te Wahipounamu) New Zealand

The track at dawn gives you a view of the first rays of the sun creeping over the Southern Alps, including over New Zealand's highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook.

Umesh, our driver was very attentive from the moment he picked us us. He was 5 minutes early and got us settled. We were on a private tour which was lovely as we stayed longer at some spots, and shorter at others. We had 3 generations so there were different needs and wants and he covered them all. We stopped at a beautiful place facing Mount Cook for lunch. We sat outside and enjoyed the lunch, sun , and the mountain. There were many people there but we never had to look for our ride. He provided water, a phone charger, and sweets, and bathroom breaks😉 He took us to a coffee cafe for an afternoon break. We had good conversation and good driving which was important to us. Probably my favorite part of the ride is that all 4 of us did not feel rushed. We took our time when we wanted. I would recommend this trip to any one.
