You're not going to want to miss this spot! Trust me, it's absolutely beautiful to see. Its a 5 minute walk off the side of the road. You'll see a small lay-by on the right handside of the road (driving from Wanaka way, slide to see the pic). Park here, cross the road and wade your way through the freezing water into the chasm. The water is always ice cold here as its glacial run-off, so if you have water shoes, it's worth wearing them! Please do not enter after heavy rain as the water can rise rapidly. Put your safety first and please leave this beautiful place how you found it.
