Walking in New Zealand: Okere Falls near Rotorua

The Okere Falls drain the Rotorua and Rotiti Lakes through a series of narrow clefts and deep pools

The walkway starts close to the main highway and follows the river downstream.

Steps take you down to viewpoints overlooking the falls. As we were watching a canoe plunged down into the pool below

Steps carved out of the rock lead down to a cave at the waters edge

We waited with cameras at the ready - and were lucky to capture another canoe emerge from the foam.

Another canoe heading down to the next waterfall

The banks are thick with native vegetation

You can walk back up the road that serves this sheep farm to return to the car park.
