Wairenga, Bridal Veil Falls

Walk 63, 1st April 2021

The Bridal Veil Falls is a 55 metre high waterfall where the Pakoka River tumbles over a basalt cliff. It’s not far from Raglan. There are three viewing platforms. I recommend going down to the bottom of the waterfall.

Here’s a signboard on the track about the reserve. The local iwi (tribes) affiliate to Aotea. Muriwhenua Kaitangata was the Aotea chief in the 1840’s. The iwi believes the Patupairehe are Maori fairies and are kaitiaki (guardians) of the area.
