A waterfall walk in the Waimā and Mataraua forests, reached from Waiotemarama Gorge Road off State Highway 12 near Opononi, in the Far North. The waterfall drops about 20 metres through rainforest, and the return walk is 546 metres along the same track. The track follows the Waiotemarama Stream up a gorge, through tawa and taraire forest. At the falls, the Hauturu Highpoint Track begins where the walk crosses an unbridged stream. The track is rough in places and can be very slippery when wet. Dogs need a DOC permit for recreational hunting or management purposes, and other pets follow conservation land rules. Check the weather before you go, because heavy rain can make the stream flood quickly, and do not cross a flooded stream.
