Repeating photo on new page:

From Milford Sound looking up the Harrison River Valley towards Mt Pembroke
Te Rua-o-te-moko/Fiordland NP via Te Anau New Zealand

I didn't think this would need any clues. I'm on a boat in one of the most visited tourist locations in NZ.

Perhaps looking up Harrison River valley to Mt Pembroke?

TBH, in the interest of easiness I would have accepted Milford Sound.
For some reason I thought I was closer to to Bowen Falls, but that does look correct eggs.
We were probably near the underwater observatory.

The amazing walls of the Upper Navua River, Fiji

[icefest]

Looks like Fiji

[eggs]

Yes - we were on a river in Fiji. That should help drill down to its name.

[johnw]

Upper Navua River?

[eggs]

Ah John - yes our brief visit to Fiji entailed only one white water adventure - on the Upper Navua River.

My wife keeps suggesting a return to Fiji, but I'd rather any OS trips wait until Covid is well and truly in the rear view mirror.
Easy one. Let's go with a more pedestrian river in Fiji:

Sigatoka River and destroyed bridge, Coral Coast, Viti Levu Fiji

[johnw]

I didn't think I would need to sig for my supper on this one but here's a clue.
The broken bridge on the left was caused by a 1994 cyclone.

Hands up who apart from John & I have been to this river....SW corner of Fiji main island?
{assuming there are not 2 bridges like this in Fiji?}

Not me, but with a combination of the clue and google maps i think it may be the Sigatoka river

Correct, Sigatoka River on the Coral Coast (pronounced Sing-A-Toe-Ka, hence the misspelt clue).

Thanks john. Next. Haven't gone that far. answer doesn't need to be too specific

[johnw]

Somewhere on Vanuatu?

[Last]

yes, but it's a big place

[johnw]

yes, but it's a big place

And I haven't been there. First guess, Turtle Bay?

[Last]

You should go, it's great. No, but quite close. A large town.

[johnw]

Luganville?

[Last]

Correct. Sitting on the verandah, eating local peanuts and enjoying the late afternoon.

[johnw]

Thanks, those tropical spots inspire that sort of thing.

USA:

Diamond Head (Lē‘ahi) from the crater, just outside the entrance tunnel
Diamond Head State Monument, Honolulu Hawaii USA

[sandym]

A random guess to start off, fire lookout in Southern California?

A lot of water between here and Southern California.

[Tyreless]

Diamond Head?

[johnw]

Diamond Head?

Yes Tyreless, from just after walking through the tunnel into the crater.

Next, Europe…

[Graham51]

Kerid Crater Lake, Iceland

[Tyreless]

3 minutes! Is that a record? Yes, 100% correct.

[Graham51]

I just checked in at the right time I guess. I even had time to look on Google.
Here’s an easy one because I’ll be away for Easter and I only have limited pictures on my phone.
UK.

The Eden project in Cornwall?

I don't remember the story of it but wasn't it supposed to be a closed system?
