Haruru Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Bay of Islands. The Haruru Falls walk is great for enjoying stunning views through a mangrove, a sheltered track, local history, and bird-watching. The base of the falls is a popular swimming site and is quite deep. You can book a kayaking tour from Pahia for the first part of the journey and walk back on the track to where you started if you’re feeling adventurous.
The waterfall and township are about a 5km distance from Pahia in the Bay of Islands and are a must-see. The viewing ledge is a 2-minute walk from the parking area. If you are looking for a walking expedition, the track to the waterfall is 5km and can take 1.5-2 hours to go one way. You can park your car at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds parking area, where you will find the entrance to the track. The walk is mostly flat, clearly signposted, and is rated as easy by the Department of Conservation. One of the track's highlights is a boardwalk that takes you through a mangrove forest. Haruru Falls translates to ‘big noise’ in Maori, and it lives up to its name. The best time to visit Haruru Falls is after a strong downpour of rain as more water is gushing over the rocks.
