Mangapohue Natural Bridge, Natural limestone arch in Waitomo, New Zealand
The Mangapohue Natural Bridge features two connected rock arches spanning the Mangapohue Stream, with the upper arch reaching 17 meters in height.
The limestone formation developed over thousands of years through water erosion, transforming an ancient cave system into the current natural bridge structure.
The natural bridge holds importance for local Māori communities who maintain traditional connections to the Marokopa River valley and surrounding limestone landscapes.
Visitors can access the natural bridge through a 700-meter wheelchair-friendly boardwalk that starts from the parking area on Te Anga Road.
The upper arch contains visible stalactites on its ceiling, while the lower arch spans directly over the flowing Mangapohue Stream below.
