Pukaki Kettle Hole Track

Located in Lake Pukaki area in the Canterbury region

Explore the Pukaki kettle holes and enjoy the great views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

The track passes through moraine hummocks and circles a distinct kettle hole within the Pukaki Kettle Hole Scenic Reserve. The kettle hole was formed by melting glacial ice – interpretation signage on site provides information about this. 

The 360-degree views experienced on this track on a fine day are spectacular.

The track is signposted off SH8. Drive up the gravel road to a designated car park area.
