Thunder Creek Falls

This easy 5 minute walk will reward you with the spectacular view of Thunder Creek Falls. This 28 metre waterfall is the remanence of a once great glacier that pours from a hanging valley into the Haast River below.
Blue Pools Track

Located in Mt Aspiring National Park is the aptly named Blue Pools. This easy 3km return is well worth the effort to see the breathtaking blue waters of the Makarora River.
Lake Hawea
