You won't miss this beautiful walk in Blue Spring Putaruru. The water is clearest in the world, nice blue color is its icon. Please don't swim in the river, as it is as cold as ice. But if you want to try the taste of the water, bring an empty bottle to fill in. The water is from the origin of Waikato river.
