Huka Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Amazing spectacle, a waterfall with a lot of power.

Wairere Falls

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

Bridal Veil Falls and Eels

Highlight • Waterfall

Dickey's Camp is a wonderful place to camp with a tent. However, the nearest shop is 12 km away. So if you are on foot or by bike, plan enough …

Omaru Falls

Highlight • Waterfall
