The Lake Pukaki Viewpoint Car Park is a must-stop spot for anyone exploring the stunning South Island of New Zealand. Situated along State Highway 8, this car park offers jaw-dropping 180° views over the vibrant turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki and the majestic snow-capped peak of Aoraki Mt Cook. With plenty of space to park, basic toilets, and a few picnic tables, it's the perfect place to pull over, snap some epic photos, and soak up the incredible scenery. Trust us, you won't want to miss this picture-perfect pit stop on your road trip adventure!
