Kitekite Falls

Direct view of Kitekite Falls with abseilers beside it



Kitekite Falls is a scenic 3-tiered waterfall dropping a total of 40m. Found near Piha Beach not far from Auckland, it is a popular attraction yet surprisingly well kept and unspoiled. This is probably because the Waitakere Ranges themselves provides a natural barrier that prevents urban sprawl from overtaking the relatively undeveloped scenery.

Apparently, this attraction attracts abseilers as had seen a few of them during my visit.

Below is an additional photo of the waterfall to show you a sense of how close together each of its tiers is to each other.
