Okere Falls Scenic Reserve Parking

Hands down one of the best walks I've done. The falls are stunning. The bush walk alongside the river is magical. The cave were totally unexpected and so incredible. You can loop through. We even got to see cave Weta. We timed our trip perfectly and got to see the white water rafting and zip lining. Looks like so much fun. The trout pool doesn't disappoint. We looped the track baby up over the ridge. The DOC signs were very generous with their times. This was such an amazing place. Added bonus of a kiwi guardian medal too. If you haven't been then you really should check it out

This is a perfectly good woodland walk plus occasional encounters with rushing waters at close quarters. The hydroelectric infrastructure is long gone which is a pity as it would have been good to see such ground-breaking engineering, even if non-operational. The day we went the river volume was more than double the normal due to the recent cyclone and its downpours. This meant no white water rafters or kayakers. A shame as this would have turned an average walk into a great one.

Falls Track starts here. Nice loop that takes a little over an hour to walk.
