This is such an incredible waterfall walk!! (one of our favs)

Taranaki Falls is a stunning waterfall located in Tongariro National Park. The waterfall cascades down a cliff face into a beautiful pool below. The short hike to the falls offers breathtaking views of the surrounding volcanic landscape, making it a must-see destination for nature lovers and hikers alike. Tag on the Tama Lakes hike and you've got yourself one of the North Islands best day walks we reckon! Highly recommend staying at the Skotel Alpine resort as its right on the door step of this walks starting point. (Both the Tama Lakes walk & Skotel is in our guide for further details)
