Taranaki Falls

Taranaki Falls



Taranaki Falls is an interesting 20m waterfall that cuts through and flows over an ancient lava flow. This results in the falls' unique setting and shape. Visiting this waterfall requires at a fairly lengthy hike through scenic tussock grasslands so typical of the foothills of Tongariro National Park. If the weather is fine, your views are augmented by the towering presence of Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Ruapehu.
