5. Lake Rotoiti

Take in views of forest-fringed waters, shimmering glow worm caves and the Southern Alps at Lake Rotoiti in the Nelson Lakes National Park. Surrounded by towering mountains, all the lakes in this park were carved out by glaciers over thousands of years and have remained largely untouched. As well as making for a spectacular landscape, this has also allowed native wildlife to thrive.

6. Hamurana Springs

Take the time to enjoy the short walk through the forest as you make your way to the Hamurana Springs. Flowing gently beside you for part of the walk are the amazingly clear waters of the Hamurana Stream. Stand quietly for a chance to see fish darting among the waving, emerald-green water plants.
