A Wonderful Day at the Lake Tekapo Farm Tour – December 14, 2023 What a fantastic day we had with Steve as our host on the Lake Tekapo Farm Tour! Our group—Herbert, Tom, Arthur, Jon, and myself —couldn’t have asked for a more delightful experience. We started the day by meeting the cutest little lambs, pigs, and Hector the friendly cow. After that, we hopped into a comfy van and took a scenic ride to the lake, where we had the chance to watch some beautiful birdlife. The views were stunning, and the fresh mountain air made it all the more enjoyable. Next, we were introduced to the farm's annual festivities, where we learned about the exciting challenge of herding sheep up a mountain in the quickest time possible—definitely a highlight! We even got to try our hand at a few swings of golf, just for fun, before sipping the finest fresh water straight from the farm. The tour took us across both the north and south sides of the farm, each offering breathtaking views. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of feeding the llamas and sheep —who were more than happy to nibble away at the treats we had for them. Steve was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day so enjoyable. If you’re looking for a truly memorable farm experience with stunning views, fun activities, and the chance to interact with some of the sweetest animals and kindest tour guide, this tour is a must! Below are some of my 50mm film photos, capturing the beauty we experienced!

Informative and interesting. A great kiwi born guide. Unfortunately it was raining and we were given the option to go or not but was glad to be able to go ahead. Saw merino sheep, cattle and other animals and learned the history of the area. Great views of Lake Tekapo as well. Great team at Silver River tours, very professional but down to earth, as it should be 😃 Best in town 👍🏻

Tu did such a good job explaining the history of the animals and the land. Wasn't pushy for the people that didn't feel comfortable feeding the animals. Overall perfect experience especially if you havent fed animals before.

A very interesting friendly guide, with detailed explanations of every spot and attraction in Tekapo, along with the adorable animals. This made us fall in love with the place deeply.

Very interesting and informative.

Sam was a great tour guide! Definitely recommend visiting the place, they look after the animals very well!

Thank you Elle for an excellent tour!! The animals were so cute and Elle was super friendly and informative. Loved it❤️
