Unfortunately, due to increased compliance and running costs, we need to increase our water taxi fees, effective 1st July 2026. The min boat fee will be $240 for 1-3 people one-way ($480 return). The fee will be $70 per person one-way ($140 return) for 4 or more passengers. We have absorbed higher running costs so far and will continue to do so until the 1st of July 2026. Thank you for your support, kind regards, Charlene and Dudley.

Snow melt and heavy rain has pushed the lake level up into the carpark.

Aotearoa is home to the world's clearest freshwater - Rotomairewhenua/Blue Lake 💙

But with increasing numbers of visitors to this tapu (sacred) spot, the lake's pristine water is at risk from lindavia, a microscopic algae that can hitch a ride on tramping gear.

Lindavia causes a sticky, slimy material known as 'lake snot' to grow under the surface. Once it's present in the water, we can't get rid of it.

As you can imagine, lake snot would irreversibly spoil Rotomairewhenua's crystal-clear blue water. As visitors to this sacred spot, we're all responsible for protecting it.

Check out CNN's article about Rotomairewhenua and what visitors can do to keep our precious alpine lakes safe. Link in the comments below ⤵️

Wow! Gotta be impressed by the ingenuity and can-do attitude of the tramper who trudged 40km in these boots. Soles falling off - no worries, just strap them up and keep going!
