Waterfalls of the North Island

The North Island of New Zealand (

The east-central regions of North Island (e.g. Rotorua, Taupo, Bay of Plenty, and Hawke's Bay) encompassed most of the country's spectacular thermal features & parks (e.g. Te Whakarewarewa, Wai-o-tapu, Waimangu, Craters of the Moon, etc.) along with Maori culture as well as some of the country's sunniest spots. And nestled amidst these features, we saw waterfalls that run hot like Kakahi Falls, others seemingly bursting out of the cliff walls like Tarawera Falls, those nestled in uninterrupted native forest like Mokau Falls, and even those with both power and color like the country's most popular natural tourist attraction in Huka Falls.

Indeed, there were lots to see and do here. And we must also mention that Julie and I enjoyed plenty of special moments, including a wedding on the Coromandel Peninsula.

So how will waterfalling the North Island create blissful memories for you? Check out the list of waterfalls below and find out!
