Lupin Field — Attraction in South Island

What a beautiful spot! The flowers were slightly further over than we initially thought when looking for them, but it was worth the search. There was a great big patch of lupins to take photos in and admire the view. Beware of the oyster catchers nesting amongst the flowers as they get a bit upset when you're near their eggs. They soon settle down as you move...

We just visited on 21st January 2025. It is not the time of lupin field blooming. I researched and read that it blooms between September and mid-December. If you’re expecting to see Lake Tekapo with Lupin flowers view, pls avoid visiting there...

Lupin fields though not as many.. you can see them in clusters here or there and in many areas along the main road leading in and out of Lake Tekapo. I understand the park blooms are in December though you can already see them...
