BIG, SMALL, IN-BETWEEN, THERE'S A WATERFALL TO SUIT ANY MOOD AND IF YOU'RE BRAVE ENOUGH, MOST OF THEM HAVE SWIMMING HOLES TO FRESHEN UP IN AND BIG ROCKS TO HAVE MORNING TEA / LUNCH / AFTERNOON TEA ON...IF YOU GET REALLY LUCKY, SAID ROCK WILL COME WITH A SUNBEAM.  THERE ARE SOME TRUE BEAUTIES IN THIS SPECTACULAR COUNTRY - SO GET OUT AND ENJOY!

wairere falls

Wairere Falls are not only the highest falls in the North Island, rising to an almighty 153m, but they also stunning, AND you can get right on top of them whilst soaking in the spectacular Waikato plains.

Fairy falls

Fairy Falls is a favourite amongst locals and tourists alike.  It delights with multiple fall viewings as well as some fun stream crossings - if you do get lucky and have get some time at the base of the falls on your own, you experience the true magic of Fairy Falls.

kitekite falls

These falls are pretty well-known in Auckland and appear on many 'bush-walks to do' lists, for good reason.  They are pretty amazing and if you like to go off the beaten track (um isn't that what bush walking is about?) then you'll like the scramble to the upper tiers of the falls.  You can also canyon down these falls which is pretty awesome too.  Be aware, on a sunny day, it can feel like everyone in Auckland is there!

Karamatura Falls

Karamatura Falls aren't super popular with the general public due to it not being the most accessible compared to other falls in the area, so this makes it even more enjoyable!.  Combine the walk with the Mt Donald McLean lookout and you have yourself a seriously photo-worthy walk on your hands.  

GOldie's bush

A cracker for a hot summer day, cos on this track, you're gonna get your feet wet.  Littered with so many stream crossings than you can poke a stick at (keep the stick it might come in handy) this track is for the slightly more adventurous...and if you're really keen (read brave), there's a bit of a stream jump to test your nerve.
