We found out about Blue Pools in Mt. Aspiring National Park just weeks before our New Zealand trip. Luckily, I found this beautiful post from Pure New Zealand’s Instagram and I completely fell in love with this place.
It’s only an hour’s drive from Wanaka so before we headed to Queenstown, we took a little detour to check out this beautiful place.
Travel tip: Don’t fill up fuel at Wanaka. They are heavily overpriced. Try going to a nearby station (we found one on the way to Blue Pools) and it was already 8 cents cheaper!
