Whangārei Falls, Natural waterfall in Whangarei District, New Zealand
The water cascades down 84 meters through native forest vegetation, creating a continuous stream that flows into a clear pool at the base of the falls.
The waterfall area served as a gathering place for local communities since the early settlement periods of New Zealand's Northland region in the 19th century.
The falls hold deep connections to Māori traditions, with numerous stories passed through generations about the spiritual importance of these flowing waters.
Walking paths circle the entire waterfall, with multiple viewing platforms offering different angles for photography and observation throughout the seasons.
The waterfall maintains a consistent water flow throughout the year due to its position within a protected forest catchment system.
