In this post, I will be recommending places of beautiful scenery for visit.
We shall first look at some beautiful landscape of New Zealand.
SOUTH ISLAND HIGHLIGHTS
Cardrona VallyThe Cardrona Vally looks across the stunning Lake Wanaka and the snow-capped Southern Alps which acts as a backdrop of the Misty Mountains surrounding Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings.
Cardrona Valley is a popular route for those wanting to combine some adventure activity with a scenic drive.
Nugget PointAt Nugget Point you can visit the lighthouse built in 1869. It's a steep land with a lighthouse and a scattering of rocky islets. It is one of the most iconic landforms and is home to many seabirds, including penguins, gannets and spoonbills.
From Nugget Point it's an easy walk to Roaring Bay, where you can hide and wait for yellow-eyed penguins. Early morning or sunset are the best times for viewing.
This is the deepest lake in the country. It is one of the Southern Lakes, found in the highland which were formed by the glacial deepening of an existing stream valley section of Fiorland National Park, accompanied by damming of the valley.
Manapouri derives its name from a Maori word meaning “lake of the sorrowing heart,” with reference to a legend that its waters are the tears of dying sisters. NORTH ISLAND HIGHLIGHTS
Huka Falls
Huka Falls, New Zealand is located in the Wairakei Tourist Park. There are several fantastic viewing platforms which allow visitors to have a great view of the Huka Falls.
There is also a footbridge which spans over the Waikato River. During the 1930s a small hydro-electric power station was constructed just below the Huka Falls. It supplied power to the Wairakei Hotel until the mid 1950s when it was replaced by electricity.
Mount Tarawera
Mount Tarawera plays an important role in the history of New Zealand. It is sacred and under the guardianship of the Ngati Rangitihi Maori tribe. Mountt Tarawera last erupted on 10th June 1886, killing over 150 people, devastated the landscape and splitting the whole mountain into two.
Three Sisters and the Elephant
In this picture, it shows two of the three sisters that are left and the Elephant Rock in the background.
Here, you will be able to see the spectacular views of the rock formations and the white cliffs of North Taranaki.
Interestingly, there were four sisters at the start of the century, but the sea has gradually eroded one away.
