Walking and driving instructions
Closed due to severe weather eventsThis site is closed until further notice. It is unsafe due to slips and tree falls which have significantly damaged the bridge and walking tracks. Tangoio Falls is roughly a 20-30 minutes' drive away from Napier. The road surface is always sealed. From Napier travel north on the SH2 for 25 km. A huge car park is on your right and well signposted. There are picnic tables there (no toilets). A walking 50-minutes return track starts from the parking, crosses the stream via a footbridge and follows the stream. Tangoio Falls and Te Ana Falls are both accessed from the same starting point. They share the first 10 minutes then head in different directions. From the tracks junction uphill walking leads you to the waterfall's viewing platform. The track can be muddy and slippery - take care! The base of the waterfall is officially inaccessible. Return via the same track. Don't forget to walk a side track to Te Ana Falls (definitely worth it!) - it will take just 5 minutes from the tracks junction to reach the falls. |
