Bridal Veil Falls is a stunning 55m horse tail waterfall located on the outskirts of Raglan in the Waikato. This waterfall is the only one of its kind in the North Island of New Zealand with an easily accessible and well graded track suitable for wheelchairs and push chairs. The track to the bottom of the falls takes around 15 minutes.

Bridal Veil Falls are accessed off State Highway 23 on the way to Raglan. Turn left onto Te Mata Road, then left into Kawhia Road, then travel another 4 km to the car park.

There are three separate viewing points along the Bridal Veil Falls track and the complete track from top to bottom takes around 20 minutes one way, but on the way back up from the bottom I would say allow for 25-30 minutes as you'll need to come back up all those stairs!

The best way to photograph Bridal Veil Falls is with your wide angle or mid range lens. Because the falls are so tall and there is a lot of scenery to take in, the wide angle lens (16-35mm or similar) is the best way to capture the entire scene.
