Tarawera Falls, New Zealand (DJI)
Tarawera Falls is a 35 m high waterfall on the Tarawera River in the Bay of Plenty region in New Zealand's North Island.
The Tarawera River flows out of Lake Tarawera and across a rhyolitic lava flow that erupted from Mt Tarawera about 11,000 years ago. The river disappears about 30 metres back from the clifftop into flooded caves in the lava and pours out halfway up the cliff on the far side of the flow.
After rain, part of the flow passes over the top of the cliff as a 65 m tall companion fall.
Access is from the town of Kawerau and is a drive of about 45 minutes over unsealed roads, followed by a walk of about 20 minutes. A forestry access permit is required, available from the Information Centre in Kawerau.

Karamatura falls
The Karamatura Falls is approx 45km from Auckland CBD,
and forms part of the Hillary Trail, located in the Huia Regional Park, which is in the southern part of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park, it's a 15-metre high waterfall and is part of the Karamatura Stream with at least two more cascades downstream.
At the start of the track you are met with a beautiful pou whenua,
pou whenua's are carved wooden posts used by Maori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are artistically carved and can be found throughout New Zealand.
Not only do they mark territorial boundaries, they also tell a stories,
this pou whenua stands at the beginning of the Karamatura Loop walk, and tells the story of the traditional name of the area where it stands: Kaingamatura — dwelling place of the deaf. It shows a shark to recall the occasions when the tribe of (Kawerau a Maki) this area went shark fishing from here. At one time an illicit liaison of a girl and a man from another tribe was found out, and the pair fled, hiding behind the rushing waters of a waterfall nearby, resulting in temporary deafness.
Here are still some preserved relics of the area’s logging history
with on-site information on how timber was moved out of this area.
The park has huge Kauri trees so please take the time to clean your gear at the kauri dieback station so we can do our part to save these giants from kauri dieback

Tarawera Lake to Tarawera falls 2017
See the Tarawera River disappearing underground at various sites before it re-emerges through the spectacular Tarawera Falls through narrow fissures in a fractured rhyolite lava cliff.
The track begins at the Tarawera Outlet swingbridge. Cross the bridge and take the right hand track at the junction. The track meanders through the native bush, largely following the river.

Kaiate Falls
Kaiate Falls (also known as Te Rerekawau Falls) is a 30 minute drive from Tauranga. The walking tracks are well formed, although quite steep in some places.
The main track leads to the top, and then to the base of the upper series of falls before continuing downhill to the lower falls. Another track, just below the car park, follows the stream back to the road bridge. Track junctions are well sign-posted.
Kaiate Falls is a a beautiful spot to cool down on those hot summer days, or even after extensive rainfall across the region the falls come alive and a spectacle to behold.
