Windwhistle Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Rakaia Gorge day trip

⛰[Travel Guide] 📍Detailed address: Google Maps location Rakaia Gorge 🕙Opening hours: Although it is an open scenic spot and theoretically open all day, due to the natural scenery, it must be visited during the daytime. 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlight feature: The river water is melted snow from the iceberg. Actually, the blue color is usually deeper, but because it rained a few days ago and mixed with rainwater, the color of the river water has been diluted to a milky blue, which is also charming in its own way. New Zealand rivers have a characteristic of having many small branches, commonly known as braided rivers. They can be seen with the naked eye, but are not easy to capture clearly in photos 😅. 📌Small Tips: 1. Dogs are not allowed on this trail. 2. Remember to wear long pants, as some sections of the trail are narrow and the wild grass next to it is the kind with thorns, which can easily cause scratches. 3. If you go after a rainy day, the trail will be muddy, so wearing non-slip shoes is recommended.
