Take a break at the stunning Kai Iwi Lakes, a group of crystal-clear freshwater dune lakes on Northland’s wild west coast. Surrounded by white sand and forest, it’s the perfect spot to stretch your legs, swim, or simply relax by the water. These rare lakes were formed by rainwater collecting in ancient sand dunes and are known for having some of the clearest lake water in New Zealand.
