O
Rýchle fakty: The wide, horseshoe-shaped waterfall spills over a basalt rock formation, creating a unique braided river effect below. Local Maori call it Haruru, meaning 'big noise' due to the thunderous sound of the cascading water.
Zaujímavosti: The waterfall is one of the few tidal waterfalls in New Zealand, with its flow influenced by the nearby tide, creating ever-changing water dynamics. A wooden walkway lets visitors walk right to the base where mist and rainbows often form on sunny days.
Insiderské tipy

- Bring a waterproof jacket or cover for your camera due to the mist.
- The best photo spot is on the platform facing the falls, especially when the sun hits the spray.
