Okere Falls

About

As the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world, these falls are perfect for a fun filled adventure or a scenic walk through nature. Tap into your daring side, and rent rafts or kayaks from the local company, and plummet down the river with a guided tour. Or if rafting is not your cup of tea, there is an easy walk through the forest overlooking the falls and a grassy area to have a picnic. If you decide to come here during the month of October, the falls also hold an annual October Beer Fest, which provides heaps of fun for both locals and tourists. Situated 3 hours outside of Auckland, this is the perfect nature stop to stretch your legs during a long road trip.
