Wharepoke Falls is roughly a 3.5-hours’ drive away from Auckland or 30-minutes from Paihia. The road surface is always sealed.

Make your own way to Kerikeri. In Kerikeri cross the Kerikeri River via Heritage Bypass and turn right into Waipapa Rd. On the first round-about turn right into Landing Rd (follow signs ‘Historic Stone Store’) and follow it for 600m until you reach a huge car park, which has toilets and fantastic picnic area with the view of the Kerikeri River.

From the parking follow an easy Kerikeri Walkway for 20 minutes until you see the waterfall. You won’t miss it. Superb spots for taking beautiful photos are available here.

Return via the same track, or follow 3-hours’ return Kerikeri River Track (Kerikeri Walkway is a part of this track) which brings you to the Rainbow Falls.
