A beautiful waterfall and swimming hole surrounded by nature.
Enjoy a time of serenity with nature at the beautiful Rainbow Falls. This short walk, starting at the Rainbow Falls car park, is accessible by wheelchair. Three stunning viewing platforms are at the top of the Rainbow Falls. The third platform is at the head of a historic weir that supplied the first electrical power to the early Kerikeri township. Remnants of the Kerikeri hydro-electric station and weir are still visible. You can stroll along the riverbank to the spectacular Rainbow Falls, where rushing waters tumble 27 metres into a popular swimming hole surrounded by native bush. The falls are also a popular destination for kayakers to explore. For birdwatchers, you may hear tui call and see fantails flitting about while you walk.
