Naturally beautiful Whangari Falls. The falls tumble over a sheer volcanic basalt cliff, and the sight is especially spectacular in the rainy season. Two observation platforms will provide excellent vantage points for photographs. You may also learn a bit about the history of the cascades, which the Maori considered a sacred place for healing. In the 1920s, a local businessman bought the falls and surrounding land to prevent a commercial mill from being built at there, which would have spoiled the natural setting.
