Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls

Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls features on our #nzmustdo waterfalls destination. Misty spray from the curtain of water dropping into the pool below is beautiful. Wairēinga Bridal Veil Falls is a great bush walk through native forest. Beautiful photo moments at the falls, an instagram favourite. Nearby is the mountain bike trail into the Pirongia Forest Park.
