The North Island Waterfalls page focuses on the waterfalls that we’ve visited and provided write-ups for on New Zealand’s North Island. Even though this was the more developed and populated of the two major islands, as you can see from the waterfall map above, we managed to visit many waterfalls spread throughout this island.

Further below on this page, you can see a listing of all the waterfalls that we’ve provided write-ups for so far. If you click through and read the write-ups, you’ll see that each one provides a wealth of information straight out of our own personal experiences that you can leverage for your own hiking or trip planning needs.

Specifically, we include in each of our write-ups detailed descriptions of the waterfall, driving directions to it, maps for context, photographs, videos, and nearby attractions to the waterfall in question as well as ratings. Indeed, chasing waterfalls throughout the North Island of New Zealand exposed us to the country’s best asset – its Nature. So why not browse through this page and see this for yourself!
