New Zealand's Pelorus River From Above
Nestled in the heart of Marlborough, in the northern South Island of New Zealand is the tranquil Pelorus Bridge Scenic Reserve, where the pristine turquoise waters of the Pelorus and Rai Rivers meet. State Highway 6 winds its way through the area, and the campgrounds and walking tracks are set among beautiful native bush.
Enjoy a brief aerial tour of the area, and make sure you stop by this area when you're passing through!
