The Journey - New Zealand
Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls
Huka Falls
Huka Falls situated in the town of Taupo flows 200,000 litres of water every second! The sheer power of the water flow is amazing to see up close. We where lucky enough to go to the falls in winter and summer, it looked exactly the same on both occasions of course, the only difference being there was way more tourists in summer.
Hunua Falls
The Hunua Falls are on the Wairoa River in the Auckland Region of New Zealand, near Hunua. The Falls are easily accesible too and make for a great trip out of the big city. Within a minute from the car park you will see a huge picture frame standing in front of the falls, a great spot for those memorable moments.
Stirling Falls
Found in the All mighty Fiordland National Park, situated at the bottom of the South Island, Stirling Falls is one of the many waterfalls you will come across in the Milford Sound region. On our one day trip from Te Anua to Milford Sound we took a cruise excursion out onto the water, the perfect way to see the many waterfalls up close and personal. When taking a boat trip the captain may even get right up close to the falls to the point you get pretty wet, he sure did for us!
KiteKite Falls
Out in West Auckland in the Waitakere Ranges near Piha beach you will find KiteKite Falls, the falls are easily accessible by a short walk
KareKare Falls
Also found in the Waitakere Ranges you have KareKare Falls close to KareKare beach. Easily accessible by foot, the falls can even be seen from the road
Bridal Veil Falls
Close to the famous surfing town of Raglan in the North Island, Bridal Veil Falls is a personal favourite of ours. Standing at 55 meters tall this spectacular display of rushing water is a perfect example of New Zealand natural beauty. The falls has three viewing platforms; top middle and bottom, of course all three levels were conquered on our visit
Whangarei falls
Located just a short drive from the Capital Northland city of Whangarei is the popular Whangarei Falls. Although the falls is an average sized 26 meters in height it remains one of the most visited waterfalls in the whole of New Zealand.
