The track follows the Wainui River through bush and across a swing bridge to a plunge pool beneath a single-drop waterfall. It is an easy outing for most ages. There are a few boulder scrambles at the end, and the track can be slippery after rain.

Good to know

  • Allow 40 to 60 minutes return
  • Wear shoes with grip
