Description

The landscape of the Waitaki Valley in New Zealand is truly remarkable when viewed from above.

The intricate network of channels weaving through the valley creates a breathtaking pattern of twists and turns, forming what is known as a braided river.

The sediment carried by the glacial meltwater is constantly shifting and changing, creating new channels and islands that contrast sharply with the surrounding dry grasslands and rocky mountains.

The crystal-clear water of the river allows for a glimpse of the riverbed and the fish that swim in the shallows.

The Waitaki Valley’s Braided Rivers not only provide stunning scenery, but they also serve an important ecological role in providing habitats for a variety of plant and animal species, some of which are rare and endangered.

Additionally, the rivers offer recreational opportunities such as fishing, kayaking, and rafting, making them a popular destination for visitors to the area.

The Alps to Ocean cycle trail runs all the way from the Southern Alps to the harbour on the coast in Oamaru.
