getlostwithliam — New Zealand

Comment NZTRIP and I’ll send you my mini-guide to New Zealand including a fully planned 14-day itinerary 🔥 New Zealand has some of the most insane views in the world, and the best part is you don’t always have to hike for hours to see them. Here are 5 spots with the ultimate "effort to reward" ratio: 🏔️ Hooker Valley Track: Almost entirely flat boardwalks leading you towards Aoraki/Mt. Cook (note that it is currently closed at the 2nd swingbridge). 💎 Blue Pools: A short forest stroll to the clearest, most vibrant turquoise water you’ll ever find in the South Island. 🌊 Cathedral Cove: An iconic limestone arch and white sand beach from Narnia! 🪞 Lake Matheson: The ultimate mirror reflection of the Southern Alps, perfect for sunrise. 💧 Blue Spring: Ethereal blue water so pure it looks like another planet. These spots are New Zealand essentials and prove that you don't need to be a pro hiker to see the absolute best of Aotearoa. Follow @getlostwithliam for more wild and epic NZ locations 🌏
