The Wairere Falls track takes walkers through a beautiful, diverse range of natural scenery.
Besides the spectacular 153m high falls there are beautiful river falls and cascades, a fine grove
of nikau, puriri and kohekohe, and an upper section of track takes you through tree ferns
and totara in native forest. The falls lookout and summit offer magnificent views of the
valley and the Waikato Plains.In summer there are plenty of pools to wade
and paddle in, and the track can be explored further up the river.
