-- About this video --
Today is our fourth day of our Catlins Road Trip and this morning we are checking out McLean Falls! McLean Falls is often said to be the most impressive of the Catlins’ waterfalls so let’s go check it out!
The waterfall is only 2km drive from our accommodation at the Whistling Frog Resort so we get there early to stay the McLean Falls Walk taking about 20 minutes to walk through the forest and to the waterfall. The waterfall is magnificent and a must do in the Catlins!
Next on our itinerary is the Tautuku Estuary Walk. This is another of the short walks in the Catlins which is best done at sunrise or sunset – however it is overcast when we walk it so we just get to enjoy the estuary views and diverse eco-system of this wetland area.
So what do you think of McLean Falls and the Tautuku Estuary? Would you add these activities to your Catlins itinerary? LUK in the comments!

We set out for the day to explore waterfalls in the south island of New Zealand! We first started with Purakaunui Falls and then attempted to go over to McLean Falls, but it was unfortunately closed!
We ended the day by stumbling upon a magnificent campsite right on the beach! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed!

The 22 m falls are on the Tautuku River in Catlins Conservation Park and are often described as the most spectacular in the region. The walk to the falls, though uphill, is not too steep and very pleasant.
It passes through a variety of forest and shrub types: huge tree fuchsia, stands of olearia and podocarp forest.
Getting there:
Turn off Chaslands Highway onto Rewcastle Road 11.6 km south of Papatowai. It's a further 3 km to the car park.

New Zealand: Purakaunui Falls
The Purakaunui Falls are a cascading multi-tiered waterfall on the Purakaunui River, located in the Catlins in the southern South Island of New Zealand.
A highly distinctive cataract, it is an iconic image for southeastern New Zealand, and was featured on a New Zealand postage stamp in 1976.
The falls are located 17 km (11 mi) to the southwest of the small town of Owaka and five kilometres (3 miles) from the river's outflow into the Pacific Ocean. They can be reached via a short, well-signposted bush walk from a gravel side-road off the main Owaka-Invercargill road.
The falls are in an isolated area surrounded by native bush in a scenic reserve of 5 km² (2 sq mi), and fall 20 m (66 ft) in three tiers.
There have been many pictures taken of the Purakaunui Falls over the years and they are now considered to be the most photographed set of falls on the South and North Islands of New Zealand.

Journey Through The Catlins | New Zealand South Island with Kids S2 Ep9
Join as we journey through the southern most part of the New Zealand South Island. We make a stop by the Mcleans Falls. Absolutely gorgeous and only a 10 minute walk! We then journey to Curio Bay to surf with some dolphins! Next stop nearby is the petrified forest. It has tree stumps and logs from millions of years ago frozen in time! We then called it a night and headed to our freedom campsite. The next morning we were woken by a rooster who wouldn't leave us along while we were cooking eggs for breakfast. Our next stop was the Clifden Cave and then a day walk on the Kepler Track!
