If you’re ever up around the Nelson Lakes National Park near the top of the South Island, and the weather co-operates, I’d strongly recommend the sunset from the shores of Lake Rotoiti.
When we were there recently, the setting sun caught the tops of the ranges in a stunning orange glow before fading to a delicate, almost ethereal, shade of pink that lit the entire sky and reflected in the waters of the lake.
Naturally, a couple of our tours pass through that way; our 3 day Nelson Lakes tour, and 5 day Top of the South tour both spend at least one night in St Arnaud on the shores of Lake Rotoiti.
We know you’ll love it, come join us.
Simply Magical!
