Haruru Falls provides a break from the coastal scenery of the Bay of Islands area. This 5m waterfall spans the Waitangi River so it's much wider than it is tall. Those looking to prolong their stay or do something a little different in the Bay of Islands can kayak to the waterfall from the Waitangi Estuary. Otherwise, it's just minutes from the seaside town of Paihia and a just-as-short walk to the falls.
Other diversions, besides the waterfall and its coastal scenery, include the Waitangi Treaty Grounds just north of Paihia. This is the historic grounds where modern day New Zealand essentially got started. There is a much longer trail that goes between the falls and the treaty grounds skirting the north end of the estuary.
