Hamurana Springs
More often than not, the best spots are the secret spots. We found this little gem a little north of Ngongotaha, and it's probably our favorite site yet. Hamurana has three trails, Riverside, Redwoods Grove, and (another trail that I forgot the name of that goes through the hills). We took the riverside trail out to the spring, and the redwoods trail back. The walk was impeccably peaceful, and words cannot describe how beautiful the trail itself was.
The water in Hamurana comes from the Hangarua Spring, and there are certain areas throughout the trail where you can see the sand bubbling from the water coming up from the springs.
