Lake Manapouri is also great for hiking, with some of the country’s best trails running next to the water’s edge. Kepler Track is a long-distance hiking trail with views of Lake Te Anau, Lake Manapouri and many grass-covered ridgelines. Allow about 4 days to complete the 67-kilometre (42-mile) loop track or plan to walk sections on a daytrip.

Dusky Track is another great long-distance trail for experienced hikers. Access the track via boat services operating from Lake Hauroko or the small lakeside town of Manapouri. The remote 8-day walking track features amazing views of glaciers, misty forests, snow-capped mountains and steep jagged valleys.

Stay in the town of Manapouri when visiting the lake. Manapouri is about 640 kilometres (400 miles) from Christchurch. Luxury hotels and self-catered apartments are also available in the nearby towns of Te Anau and Queenstown. Wear suitable hiking footwear and pack supplies if you wish to attempt one of the many walking trails.
