Description

Added by Marty JL

An easy walk, not far from the township of Raglan, through native bush to a set of viewing platforms that showcase the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls. Each platform offers a unique view of the falls with some stunning photography spots along the way.

The platforms overlooking the 55m falls from different angles offer unique perspectives of this natural feature. Shaped over time by water flowing across harder volcanic rock onto soft stone below, the falls have a deep pool, which combined with an area surrounded by native bush and wildlife, providing a calm atmosphere as a result.

There are a set of stairs to the lower platforms, which may be more difficult to explore!

Super easy walk with incredible views. Three different viewing platforms to see the waterfall from. We went at 4 in the afternoon and were rewarded with the afternoon sun. Baby goats and turkeys also made an appearance during the walk.

Explore the Mangapohue Natural Bridge

Mangapohue Natural Bridge is about 30 kilometers past the infamous Glow Worm Caves in Waitomo. Continue on Te Anga Rd and you'll run into the beginning of the trail on the right. It's only about a 10 min walk out to the cavern so no need to worry about bringing a day pack.You walk through a tree covered gorge of limestone with the stream running below until you run straight into the cavern. The...

Explore Marokopa Falls

Marokopa Falls is located right off Te Anga Rd in Waitomo. Most people visit Waitomo for the world famous Glow Worm Caves, but I encourage continuing on down the road to visit the falls.The tramp to the falls is very easy and should only take about ten minutes through the covered green forest. You then pop out on a wooden deck overlooking the massive waterfall. Though it isn't the nearly the hi...

Explore Hobbiton

The Hobbiton Movie Set is built into the hills of a private farm in Matamata, two hours south of Aukland. You can get your tickets online, in town, or right at the set. Peter Jackson and crew spent many months right here on the farm filming and building the immaculate set for the films.It truly is incredible to see the craft that went into recreating Tolkien's Shire. You will learn all about th...

Hike to Te Waihou Springs

There are two different ends to begin the walk. The one I suggest starts at the Leslie Road Carpark, about 20 mins from Matatmata. Though the entire 5 km track is absolutely stunning, the most popular section, being the Blue Springs, is less than a ten min walk from the lot. The Blue Springs pool is absolutely out of a fantasy world. The water running through the river is the clearest and pures...

Hike to the top of Wairere Falls

Wairere Falls is located just ten minutes from Matamata. If you're in the area for the Hobbiton tour definitely make sure to take some time to hike the falls as well. Parking is super easy at the base of the hike and there is a restroom if needed before starting the trek. Allow yourself at least 4 hours to complete the tramp.You start the hike through dense, lush rain forest and weave your way ...

Explore Karekare Falls

A stunning horsetail waterfall that is only a short, uphill walk from the Karekare beach carpark (roughly 100m from carpark to track) in the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park. The waterfall is approximately 30m tall, casting a spray of clear fresh water down upon a cool swimming hole. The flow is strongest during winter and early spring. The walk itself takes roughly 10 minutes, an easy, open ac...
