"Blue Springs is a stunning natural attraction located along the Te Waihou Walkway near Putaruru. The water here is crystal clear and has a vibrant blue color due to its purity, with visibility reaching up to 100 meters deep. The spring provides about 60% of New Zealand's bottled water, and the water is so pure that it takes up to 100 years to filter through underground rock.
The walk to Blue Springs is peaceful and scenic, passing through rolling farmland and native bush. It's a great spot for photos and a tranquil escape into nature. Swimming is no longer allowed to help preserve the water’s pristine condition.
Cost: Free"
