This really is one of the best walks in this area. Fine specimens of some of New Zealand’s most primitive trees, surrounding the serene Lake Rotopounamu.

A well maintained walking track around this lake provides a wonderful snap shot of New Zealand in any weather. Allow two and a half or three hours as there is a lot to see and learn about.

There is a real abundance of things to see on

any given day.  Ferns, both large and small,

giant trees, delicate mosses, and iconic

New Zealand insects, the list goes on.

There are numerous projects underway around

this Lake to preserve this beautiful area and

your Guide can fill you in on these
