Blue Spring in Waikato New Zealand is an easy and very enjoyable walk following a beautiful river. I\u2019ve never seen water like this. It\u2019s extremely clear with green plants swaying underwater. <\/span><\/p>\n

When I went to visit, I ended up starting at the wrong end of the walk and had it in my mind that it was 1.5 hours one way. I went charging off! Marched passed a seating area after a few photos and carried on, dodging other groups of walkers. Just after an hour, I realised I could hear the sound of a road again. That\u2019s when I clicked. I\u2019d just walked from carpark to carpark! I had already passed the Blue Spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back tracking, I came across a map and finally realised that I\u2019d actually started at a shortcut carpark, which is about a 15min walk to the Blue Springs. Great to know if you want a short walk!<\/span><\/p>\n

It really is a lovely walk along a river which keeps changing personalities. From calm green, to dense black, to raging rapids. Parts are through farmland and through native bush.<\/span><\/p>\n
