Hunua Falls, Waterfall in Hunua Ranges, New Zealand
The Hunua Falls cascade over a basalt lava plug with a total height of 30 meters, forming part of the Wairoa River in Auckland region.
The Auckland government obtained the land surrounding Hunua Falls between 1940 and 1960 to secure water supply for the growing region.
The waterfall gained additional recognition through its appearance in television productions, including the series Xena: Warrior Princess during its broadcast period.
Visitors can access two main viewing points through short walking tracks: the Lower Lookout Trail takes 5 minutes while the Upper Lookout Walk spans 30 minutes.
The cliffs near the waterfall provide natural walls for abseiling activities, combining recreational sports with the geological formations of the area.
