Easy walking track from Kerikeri’s Stone Store to Rainbow Falls, passing through Wharepuke Falls. Lush greenery and a well formed trail with pretty steady leveling throughout. Can be slippery and muddy when wet, so wear a good pair of trail runners.

Fantastic walking track kept in very neat condition , if you are up for a full day walk you can follow it all the way to a beautiful waterfall at the end , Very worth it on a nice day

A great and enjoyable walking track that takes you right from where the Kerikeri River meets the sea up to the beautiful Rainbow Falls. A recommended walking track for those wanting to see nature at its most glamorous
