Whangārei Falls

Whangārei Falls

Whangārei Falls is located within a nature reserve in Whangārei, Northland Region, just 5 kilometers from the city center. The falls stand approximately 26 meters high. Though not the tallest, widest, or most majestic in New Zealand, they are the country’s most photographed waterfall and have become a must-visit attraction.

Surrounded by lush trees, Whangārei Falls is quiet, elegant, and ribbon-like in beauty. Its water flow varies with the weather, yet whether strong or gentle, it always displays different forms of charm. When the water flow is heavy, the falls are especially powerful and majestic, cascading straight down in breathtaking splendor. When the flow is light, they take on a delicate, graceful beauty that is equally captivating. Visitors can enjoy views of this elegant waterfall from both the top and bottom. They can also swim and play in the pool beneath the falls. A designated picnic area is available near the base, allowing visitors to enjoy delicious meals by the cool waterside.
