Harker Reserve, home to Vivian Falls, is a pretty little spot just an hour from Auckland. If you're craving a peaceful destination to get away from the city, this 12-meter waterfall is the perfect escape. The walk is a 4.3-kilometer loop and will take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete. The trail is family-friendly, with the falls being the perfect spot to reset, unwind, and enjoy nature without any rush.
