Atomic Shuttles buses stop in Lake Tekapo en route between Christchurch and Queenstown. Their buses stop outside the Four Square supermarket in the village centre on the Tekapo–Twizel Road.
InterCity Coachlines and the Cook Connection buses also stop in Lake Tekapo, but they use a different bus stop in the car park outside the Lake Tekapo Tavern, around a three-minute walk from here.
