Rainbow Falls, Waterfall in Kerikeri, New Zealand.
Rainbow Falls features a vertical curtain of water dropping 27 meters into a deep pool surrounded by native vegetation.
The waterfall, located near the Bay of Islands, has served as a natural landmark for Maori tribes and European settlers since ancient times.
The waterfall forms part of the Kerikeri River Track, connecting visitors to the Stone Store, New Zealand's oldest stone building.
The falls can be reached via a 5-minute walk from the parking area on Rainbow Falls Road, with three different viewing platforms available.
The waterfall maintains a constant flow throughout the year, creating a perpetual rainbow effect when sunlight hits the water spray.
