Blue Spring

Reviewed By 83nikk - Auckland Central, New Zealand

I've driven past here so many times and never stopped, I'm so glad we finally did. There are 2 entrances, one is a 15 min walk and the other 1.5 hours - so make sure you get the right one. Beautiful river and springs, hopefully the sun ☀️ is shining when you visit to make the crystal clear water really glow.

Manu Bay

Reviewed By EnglandPops

We drove from Raglan along the coast road south & came upon Manu Bay, a fantastic scenic location & a dream for surfers. Enormous waves, towering cliffs & appeared a million miles away from civilisation.

Very pretty lake with amazing trees, wildlife, pretty water lillies. A great spot for a walk or picnic. Plenty of parking. Short distance from the centre of Cambridge.

Lake Ngaroto

Reviewed By LilyChak - Auckland Central, New Zealand

30 minutes drives from Hamilton City Centre. The walk around the lake is amazing. We enjoyed the walk and experience natural wetland. The walk is flat and easy. Highly recommended a hat, sun block and lots of drinking water. We use two hours in total to finish the 90 minutes walking track, a lot to discover on the way. Birds singing, beautiful plants and flowers.....
