Omarama Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A calm lake with ducks, surrounded by mountains and trees.
A river with a bridge, surrounded by lush greenery and purple flowers.
A plate of breakfast food including eggs, bacon, toast, and a burger.
A rugged mountain range with distinct rock formations and dense green vegetation.
A store with various knitted items and clothing racks.

Combine sky-high thrills with hot tubs and chill in Omarama, a secluded township surrounded by lakes and mountains.

Make like the local birdlife and soar your way over Omarama's breathtaking mountain ranges and deep blue lakes on a guided glider flight. Back on solid ground check out the twisted pinnacles of the Clay Cliffs or hit the hiking trails of Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo. Tuckered out? The Omarama HOT Tubs have got you sorted. Soak in the outdoor barrel-baths and enjoy stunning scenery during the day and star-filled skies at night.
