New Zealand Blue Lake

You cross the blue lake during the tongariro alpine crossing. A big and blue lake (a cold acidic lake). The lake is Tapu (sacred) and it is disrespectful to touch, enter, eat or drink around its shores.

Photography Tips

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a 19.4km point to point hike. So keep your equipment small and always take a rain jacket with you!

Travel Information

You can book a lot of tours for the hike. I prefered the Discovery Lodge tour, cause it is the earliest tour for the crossing. The chance is very high that you reach the Top right befor all the other tourists to take photos without a lot of retouching later.
