Blue Pools Track

#summervacay Located off Haast Pass, the Blue Pools Track is an easy, family-friendly summer walk that leads to crystal-clear glacial pools connected by a swing bridge. The water really is blue—an otherworldly turquoise when the light hits just right. In summer, the walk is shaded and cool, making it a popular stop for a refreshing dip (if you're brave—the water is icy!). The short walk through native beech forest is beautiful and well maintained. It's a must-see for anyone driving through the Southern Alps during the warmer months.
