At the head of Lake Tekapo where the Godley River and Macaulay River feed the lake are some spectacular river braids which can be photographed by drone.

To get to the northern end of Lake Tekapo you need to take Lilybank Road (as above with Motuariki Island) but go further north until you reach the access to the lake. You can park your vehicle here and fly your drone from this location to be above the braids. You don't need to fly too far as the carpark is quite close to the lake.

Photo Tip: Shoot during the day if you want to keep the colour of the turquoise water as bright and blue as possible.
