Description
The Marokopa Falls Walk is a short and easy track located in the Waitomo area of the Waikato region. The trail leads through lush native forest to a viewing platform overlooking the impressive 35 m waterfall.
The waterfall is often described as one of the most beautiful in the country. Here the Marokopa River cascades over the undercut greywacke rock into a deep pool below.
Getting there
Marokopa Falls is 15 km east of Marokopa and 31 km west of Waitomo, on Te Anga Road.
