Dear Guests,
Unfortunately, the second swing bridge remains closed due to damage from the storm in April 2025.
You can still enjoy the track up to the Mount Sefton lookout platform, a 4.3 km return walk, offering beautiful views along the way.
As a result, we have partially resumed our regular tour itinerary, based on the current conditions.
Please note that no partial refunds will be issued as the tour is proceeding in an adjusted format.
👉 Hooker Valley track conditions:

For guests returning from the Hooker Valley Track, Tasman Glacier Viewpoint Track, or River Track, we are happy to offer the following additional walking options:
👉 Additional Walking Options:
Kea Point Track (approx. 45-60 minutes return) – Easy
Red Tarns Track (approx. 1.5-2 hours return) – Moderate
Sealy Tarns Track (approx. 2.5-3 hours return) – Hard
Track access is subject to change due to weather conditions and unforeseen maintenance work by the Department of Conservation (DOC). Please check with our friendly driver on the day to confirm availability.
Any further updates will be shared as needed.
We look forward to welcoming you to Mount Cook☺
Regards,
Tekapo Shuttle
