Rainbow Falls, Waterfall in Kerikeri, New Zealand.
Rainbow Falls is a waterfall near Kerikeri where water drops straight down and plunges into a wide pool below. Thick native vegetation surrounds the area, creating a lush and shaded environment.
The waterfall sits in a region that Maori tribes used for centuries before European settlers arrived. This natural landmark has long served as a reference point in the landscape.
The waterfall sits within a walking trail that guides visitors toward historical sites nearby. Local people and tourists use this route to experience the region's natural and built heritage together.
The walk to the waterfall takes only about 5 minutes from the parking area. Several viewing platforms are set up along the route to see the falls from different angles.
