Hutt Lagoon, more commonly know as the Pink Lake, was give its official name by explorer George Grey who camped on its edge in 1839. The pink hue is due to the presence of a carotenoid-producing algae, Dunaliella salina, a source of beta carotene.

The edges of the lagoon often appear white and crystalized due to its high salt content. The best time of year to view this amazing lake is after the winter rains have filled up the water levels.

Within the lagoon lies a gridded lake system where BASF sustainably harvests natural beta-carotene. You’ll find the end product in food, beverages, health supplements and baby formula used for its health benefits as a source of vitamin A and also as a natural food colouring agent.

The lagoon contains the worlds largest microalgae production plant.
