Charming nature

New Zealand is a country known for its bright green mountains, chalky blue rivers, and remote, uninhabited areas bursting with life. The terms "unique" and "primitive" come together to describe New Zealand's nature. Incredibly, 80% of the plants and 70% of the animals are wholly exclusive to New Zealand. It feels like you've traveled back in time when you set foot in this country. You have to take your time to enjoy it, even if it is majestic and odd. Step back into prehistoric times with us and get a peek at what the planet was like before. New Zealand nature is like a time capsule.

With some of the most beautiful and pure waters in New Zealand, Blue Pools of Haast Past is a favorite destination for tourists seeking to take in the scenery. On the walk, you can opt to hike while viewing the waterways below and coming across a swing bridge. Alternatively, you may cool yourself in the shallow water of the pool itself. The Blue Pools are merely a small portion of the larger Makarora River, which has powerful currents; be sure to avoid swimming in it.
