THE EMERALD POOL AND NATURAL WALK

The bacteria, minerals and limestone solution create the emerald colour, the pool progressively gets it’s colour. This creates this beautiful blue/green colour. The water comes from a warm stream which is about 30 – 50 degree Celsius. Surrounded by a forest and nature reserve is the Emerald pool. Filled with lots of gorgeous trees and plants and you may even spot the odd bit of nature as well. It’s located 800 meters away from the car park.

There are two routes to walk from car park to the pool. The first route is the shortcut path which is about 800 meters which you can walk straight to the pool. . Surrounded by the forest until you reach the pool, following the trail of 1,400 meters and over the wooden bridge. When we visited we took the longer route to experience some of the nature reserve before reaching the pool and to also filter some of the other tourists away so it wasn’t as busy when we got to the pool.
