Hunua Ranges Regional Park

Wonderful and easy walk with plenty of look out points. Get some great views of the valley and dam. Family friendly and kids could do the walk with ease. Definitely recommend giving it a go. Can do the main track and the suspension bridge in less than 3 hours.

Great place with good tracks that are suitable for most fitness levels. Make sure you bring water and decent shoes, arriving before noon avoids the crowds and parking is good. Bush canopy provides excellent cover from the sun.

Great getaway for an easy hike and great waterfall to relax. Take some snacks and a drink to enjoy after your hike.Great picnic spot.

Amazing place to enjoy the Mother Nature! You can have 3 hours walk loop track or close view of the water full.It’s a beautiful day. We just had picnic near the water full.

Great waterfall, parking located very close to the falls. Well maintained tracks and steps. Quite a few options for tracks nearby from 20mins - 3-4 hours. We did the suspension bridge walk so some photos from there. Great activity for people of all ages.

Great place to have a picnic or just hike. Swimming is good but wouldn't recommend as there has been deaths in the past, people swimming need to follow instructions but some don't. Generally a good day out type of thing.

Great place to hike when it's raining. The bush shelters you so no worries about rain. Still need a raincoat but walking here is very pleasant when the weather is bad everywhere else.

2.5 - 3 hours nice easy walking track. We enjoyed our walk. The weather was perfect on that day. The car park is small, and super busy during the holidays and on good weather days.

Do not miss this gem of a place especially if you have fussy little kids who complain after a short walk! With just a little walking you get to the beautiful falls and can sit and experience the magic all around. They also have other trails and hiking options! The paths are clearly marked and the greenery us just beyond stunning. As with other trails, hike etc please wear good shoes, bring water!
