Best Walk In New Zealand? Hooker Valley Track Hike | Mount Cook | Reveal NZ Ep.20

Reveal New Zealand Ep 20 and we're doing the Hooker Valley Track Walk! In Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is our fav NZ hike, with views across to Mt Cook and in winter it's...⬇ More Below ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to generate income online and travel non-stop (when we can again)

Ahhhh Mount Cook National park — what a bloody beautiful part of New Zealand. While it's not necessarily considered a Mt Cook hike, we've done the Hooker Valley Track in summer, so decided this time on taking the walk again in winter to see the difference. It might not be THE best walk in New Zealand, but tell ya what, it's our favourite!

The Hooker Valley Track Walk is the most popular walk in the Aoraki Mount Cook National park for good reason. There's a really cool mix of terrain, it follows a massive flowing river, crosses multiple bridges and everyone on the track just always seems so friendly and welcoming.

The hike itself is 5km each way, ending at the Hooker Lake with views up to Mt Cook, which is the highest mountain in New Zealand at 3,724 metres.

Quick note: the drone video featured in this video from inside Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and the Hooker Valley Walk is all stock footage and not captured by us.

Reveal NZ is a 20+ part video series, so make sure you're subscribed to follow along with all episodes here: More than just taking a motorhome around New Zealand, it's about how to travel New Zealand, the top tourist spots, the hidden local gems, incredible day trips, extreme activities, amazing accommodation and a spot of wining and dining... It's about making you feel like you're along for the travels with us, so grab a drink of your poison, sit back and get ready for 5 weeks driving in a campervan hire from Auckland to The Catlins.

New Zealand South Island | 10 Day Road Trip Itinerary

I travelled the South Island, New Zealand back in August 2019, and its only now (7th April 2021) that I'm finally uploading this video.

Take note, I may look younger in this video as I made the 'talking head' part of the video over a year ago too.

I'm very aware that New Zealand is still a difficult country to enter with its restrictions on entry during the pandemic, but I hope this video will give people planning a trip to New Zealand for the future some ideas.

Reveal NZ was a 23 part video series in a campervan showing the ultimate New Zealand holiday. Though to be fair, we still had recommendations about some of the top things to do in New Zealand that we missed of the best places to visit that we either a) couldn't get to for what ever reason, b) regret not spending enough time at or c) didn't plan in at all — so you can benefit from that! More than just taking a motorhome around New Zealand, the videos were about how to travel New Zealand, the top tourist spots, the hidden local gems, incredible day trips, extreme activities, amazing accommodation and a spot of wining and dining... The series is about making you feel like you're along for the travels with us, so grab a drink of your poison, sit back and get ready for 5 weeks driving in a campervan hire from Auckland to The Catlins.

Out of this world Lake Pukaki & Tekapo | Mackenzie Region, South Island, NZ

The Mackenzie Region is perhaps one of the most breath taking areas in New Zealand. It's famous for their surreal vividly turquoise lakes, dazzling starry night skies and it's also home to Mt Cook - New Zealand's tallest mountain.

In this vlog we drove from Timaru to Twizel but unfortunately the weather wasn't great at Lake Tekapo when we were passing through for some lunch first at Kohan (Japanese) Restaurant.

Kohan Restaurant
Address: 6 Rapuwai Lane, Lake Tekapo 7945

Fortunately though, the rain cleared up by the time we reached our very unique SKYLAB Airbnb accommodation located at Pukaki, Twizel Airport. It was a great location since it's close to beautiful Lake Pukaki but also kind of in between Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook (which was the next part of our trip). An awesome little space capsule.

SKYLAB Airbnb


Other tiny NZ homes we've stayed in:

▸ Yellow submarine
▸ Pirate ship

The 4 Mackenzie Lakes we visited:

▸ Lake Pukaki (Peter's lookout, and Lake Pukaki View Point)
▸ Lake McGregor
▸ Lake Alexandrina
▸ Lake Tekapo (Church of the Good Shepard)

Lake Pukaki and Lake Tekapo are our favourites as the water is exceptionally stunning especially on a sunny day. It actually looks surreal. There are many different lookout points to enjoy the views too.

Why you should STAY at MT COOK | Hermitage Hotel | New Zealand 4K

Mt Cook Aoraki Village and National Park, Tasman Glacier and Hooker Valley Track - This vlog sums up our time at the Mt Cook national park, and why we recommend that you stay here, rather than just day trip, if possible.

We stayed at the Hermitage Hotel, one of only two accomodations located in the area, and dined at their alpine restaurant whilst viewing the spectacular sunset over the peak of the southern alps.

The next morning we made our way to a vantage point at the Tasman Lake which still had icebergs floating in it, fed from the Tasman Glacier. Straight after we hiked the Hooker Valley track which is one of the most popular in the country, and is suitable for people of all fitness types.

With talks of Australia & New Zealand possibly opening a 'travel bubble' between ourselves for overseas tourism, we hope to show you guys a taste of the natural scenery that our kiwi neighbours are offering, and if you're even just contemplating it, why you should go go GO!

Picture Perfect Lake Wanaka, Clay Cliffs & Lake Tekapo | South Island, New Zealand Vlog 3/5

In this vlog we hit up some of the most scenic sights in the South Island of New Zealand. We made the journey from Te Anau, passed back through Queenstown to get to Wanaka and eventually made it all the way to Lake Tekapo. It was a super long day of driving but so worth it getting to see such breathtaking places.

When we arrived in Wanaka we needed a quick refuel so stopped by a lakefront bakery called Doughbin. They had some award winning NZ pies so it was a no brainer for us to eat here before going to see that iconic Wanaka tree!

The Doughbin Bakery
Address: 123 Ardmore Street, Wanaka 9012
Hours: Mon–Sun 6am–5pm

The scenic spots we visited in this vlog were:

1. The Devil's Staircase
We pulled over for a quick stop at this lookout spot on the drive from Te Anau headed to Wanaka. Be careful when you pull over as it is a busy winding road.

2. Lake Wanaka
There's a lone willow tree that's one of the most photographed trees in New Zealand. It's right next to a car park too, so super easy to get to. You need to come on a still day and either very early or closer to sunset to get that perfect snap.

3. Lindis Pass
On the way to the clay cliffs, there's a unique mountainous area that's covered in that classic NZ tussock grass. There are 2 lookout points that are very easy to get to from the carpark. It's a great excuse to take a break from driving and to stretch your legs while soaking in some stunning scenery.

4. The Clay Cliffs
Sometimes known as Omarama Clay Cliffs, these astounding badlands came to be around 20 million years ago when they were created out of layers of silt and gravel deposited by ancient glaciers. Wind and rain eroded the landscape leaving amazing pinnacles behind. The clay cliffs are on private land and there's an honesty box at the gate entrance.

5. Lake Tekapo / The Church of the Good Shepard
We weren't originally planning on going to Lake Tekapo on this South Island road trip as it meant adding to our already very long day of driving but we figured we just had to go see it. We're glad we did. We got to catch the sunset over the breathtakingly beautiful turquoise lake with snow capped mountains in the background. In summer you can see colourful lupins in the fields so I think we need to return again in the future! It's worth staying til night time and waiting for the stars to come out as it's the largest gold standard dark sky reserve in the world meaning it's the best place for star gazing.

Lake Tekapo, New Zealand | Traveller

Born of a hydropower scheme completed in 1953, today Tekapo is booming off the back of a tourism explosion, although it has long been a popular tour-bus stop on the route between Christchurch and Queenstown. Its popularity is well deserved: the town faces out across the turquoise lake to a backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
Such splendid Mackenzie Country and Southern Alps views are reason enough to linger, but there's infinitely more to see if you wait till dark. In 2012 the Aoraki Mackenzie area was declared an International Dark Sky Reserve, one of only 12 in the world, and Tekapo's Mt John – under light-pollution-free skies – is the ultimate place to experience the region’s glorious night sky.
