Te Waikoropupu Springs!

Some of the clearest water in the world.  These beautiful Springs are only about 6 km’s out of Takaka and Tapu to the Maori, well worth a visit.

The entrance to the springs walkway.

You need this walkway to reach the springs without getting wet feet.

Not able to speak Maori I assume this means welcome.

Dancing sands spring where you can watch the white sand bubbling up without being washed away by the water flow.

There are not many places where water is this clear.

The water not only comes from the mountains but from sea water being filtered through the earth’s crust.
