Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls as seen from the lookout

Bridal Veil Falls is a beautiful and impressive 55m plunging waterfall on the western North Island. This towering waterfall can be experienced from both its top and its base along a well-defined path. Given its exquisite beauty, it is also a very popular waterfall yet one you shouldn't miss.

Personally, I think this may be one of the most scenic (if not the most scenic) waterfall on the North Island. Below is an additional photo of the waterfall as seen from its base.
