The Wairere Falls Track is a 3-hour return track to the tallest waterfall in the North Island, New Zealand.
Falling down from the impressive wall of escarpment created by the fault line, the 153 meters tall Wairere Falls is a nature’s marvel.
The trailhead starts from Wairere Falls Track Carpark and it takes around 30-45 minutes to reach Wairere Falls Lower Lookout point. This involves steady incline on an undulating track over moss-covered rocks and tree roots. The track also passes through rockfall areas, so follow the signage and move quickly through these sections. Avoid walking this track during or after a heavy rain or severe weather conditions.
Beyond the lookout platform, the track begins to get much steeper towards the top of Wairere Falls. It takes around an hour or more to reach the top from the lower falls lookout point.
Do not go to the edge of the waterfall, a slip can be a deadly long fall to the bottom. This photo is captured from the platform built to view the waterfall’s edge safely.
On drier days, the water level is low enough to step on dry paths to cross the falls river. However, stay away from the waterfall’s edge, a little bit of moss can make even the dry path slippery. A person has recently died being swept down the Wairere Falls.
A little cascade falls upstream before the big one.

A short side trip between the track from the car park to the lower lookout point takes you to the The International Seat of Peace. It has a bench that overlooks the green farm hills.
