Piroa Falls

About

The 20-meter-tall Piroa Falls are tucked away in the Waipu Gorge Scenic Reserve, and are one of the most accessible cascades in the area. To reach them, it’s a quick 10-minute walk through the verdant native forest and a quick bridge-crossing of the Ahuroa River. The falls, pouring into a rocky gorge are more than a pretty site - the numerous swimming holes are a great place to cool off, and for the more adventurous, there are rocks to jump off of, but be careful of the depth.
