New Zealand Godley Valley River Crossing

The rivers of the Godley Valley are among New Zealand's finest examples of braided glacial rivers, with shimmering turquoise channels weaving across vast gravel plains beneath the towering Southern Alps. Fed by the Godley Glacier and surrounding snowfields, these ever-changing waterways create a dramatic alpine landscape that is home to rare birdlife and exceptional photographic opportunities.

Go into the action mode and burst your frames to freeze motion on a rather very fast shutter.

The main river, the Godley River, flows through the valley into the northern end of Lake Tekapo, accompanied by tributaries such as the Macaulay River. The best access is via Lilybank Road from Lake Tekapo. This area is no joke!! Only go if you feel comfy in overloading. There will be no help if stuck and almost no reception. Take a beacon with you.
