Wairere Falls Track Carpark

A great hike with plenty of great views of the falls. 45 minutes to the base of the falls then further 45 minutes to the top.Make sure you have good footwear. Steep climbs at times, so be wary.

Awesome walk to the top of the waterfall. Second half of the walk tougher than the first 45 minutes which takes you to the first lookout. All round an interesting walk with lots to see. Proper walking boots required.

A spectacular hike through track and boulders...and great stops at the rivers bridges before climbing the stairs...it is well worth the climb! The view from the top of the Falls is a must see!! You will get an On the edge of the world" kinda feeling."

Challenging track, pretty steep for a fair portion, but young and old alike were doing it, so if you take you time it's not insurmountable.Great views from the top only, but very exposed so take a warm layer with you. Water levels were low when we did it, so could easily cross over the stream for better vantage points.Track mostly in good condition, some boggy areas and rocks and tree roots to scramble over, tho. Would recommend sturdy footwear rather than the Crocs we saw a couple wearing!! Those white trainers someone had on... he'd have regretted those too!Very popular track on public holiday: carpark is well signposted, takes about 100 cars. It was over half full when we went. Nice picnic seating and toilets to enjoy lunch at the end in the carpark, no real area up top to sit and lunch.

Take warm clothes45min walk to the falls lookout.Walking tracks are very rocky, slippery on the flat surfaces (if it has rained)lots of tree roots & rough walking ground.Sturdy walking shoes/boots are best1hr.30min to the top of the waterfall

Didn't managed to complete the trail due to fallen trees blocking the path.Can be muddy when it rain so wear a boots or waterproof shoes.Consider easy trail despite the heavy rain

Great walk for summer as the track is covered in the shadow of the trees and bushes. The carpark is big and tidy when we got there. There is a compost toilet - you can see it from the car park. You will need to walk 30 seconds and it's on the right of the track. Highly recommended!

Great day walk you can spend as long or as short a time as you please. Good to take a pack lunch and sit on the rocks so long as the water flowing slowly otherwise you'll be stuck on the track.Keep an eye on young kids don't let them get too close to the edge and be a role model don't go there either very high up, very easy to slip you don't really need that selfie that costs you or others their life right?

Really lovely walk. Incredible views. Track is a bit slippery in parts but not badly maintained. Some steep parts that need negotiating and some care coming back down.There are toilets at the beginning of the walk. But take your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer as these toilets are not maintained. (Biohazard alert)Walk times are pretty accurate if you are fit. Allow extra half hour or so if not so fit.Dogs are allowed (by permit). Great to see ppl out with their dogs but unfortunately not many are picking up after them, so mind your step.All in all I really enjoyed this trail and we would definitely do this again.
