New Zealand Road Trip – New Zealand Beaches: Makarora to Fox Glacier
New Zealand . Outdoor Recreation . Tent Camping . Travel . Worldwide TravelFor this part of the trip, we recommend taking a full day to drive the stretch from Makarora to Fox Glacier, with plenty of time to stop at the blue pools and the beaches North of Haast. If you have a little more time, break this up into two sections, camping near Bruce Bay or Haast.

Blue Pools New Zealand
Hiking . New Zealand . Outdoor Recreation . Travel . Worldwide TravelVisiting the Blue Pools, you’ll find a series of unbelievably turquoise pools just below a waterfall that opens up into a wide river below. The banks are littered with smooth, round stones, and the glacial mineral runoff refracts the sun’s light to create the most beautiful blue water imaginable. If it wasn’t for the hordes of sandflies, this would truly be paradise.

New Zealand South Island Tour – Makarora West
Hiking . New Zealand . Outdoor Recreation . Travel . Worldwide TravelOnce you leave Queenstown, drive up between Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea for spectacular views of both lakes and Mt. Aspiring National Park to the West. We highly recommend the reasonably-priced and comfortable A-Frame accommodations at the Makarora Tourist Centre, just below Mt. Shrimpton and adjacent to Mt. Aspiring National Park.
