New Zealand Lake Tekapo Lupins: Where to Find Them and Why They're Special

One of the most famous times of the year on New Zealand's South Island is Lupin flowering season. It's a time when these stunning flowers, bloom along the riverbeds and lakes around New Zealand, putting on a spectacular show. From all around the world people actually travel to NZ purely for this occasion and it's not uncommon to see more than a few wedding photoshoots in areas where the Lupins are there most beautiful.

But what are Lupins and where can you find the most beautiful locations to see them? Well, there's actually plenty of amazing spots around New Zealand to see the Lupins and in this blog we're going to tell you exactly when and where!

But first, what are Lupins and what makes them unique?

About Lupins in New Zealand

Lupins are not a native species to New Zealand. Lupins in New Zealand are an introduced species of Lupin called Russell Lupins. Funny enough, Russell Lupins are actually a breed of a few different Lupins that were created by George Russell in the UK after they were too introduced in the 1820s.

Although beautiful, they are considered an invasive species and some effort is taken to keep Lupin numbers under control around New Zealand. However, there are a few places, where although a pest, these flowers prove to be huge tourism boosters and for that reason, remain untouched. Of course even in areas outside of these tourism hot spots Lupins still grow freely, and during the right time of year, you can find them in lots of places!

Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo is easily the most famous place in New Zealand to see Lupins. Along the shores of Lake Tekapo thousands of Lupins grow in a huge range of colours. From purple to pink and every shade in between, the Lupins here are really something special! Wedding photoshoots during Lupin season are extremely popular and you'll often see newlywed couples getting beautiful photos together in a field of Lupins!

Be sure to get a great shot with the Church of the Good Shepherd (another famous attraction) as well along the Scott Pond. With the stunning blue glow of the lake and the surrounding mountains as a backdrop, this is the most beautiful place to see Lupins in NZ.
