Kerikeri waterfall walking track system
Kerikeri is blessed with a unique and world class river system, eventually running out to the sea to the Bay of Islands at the Historic Stone Store area and the fabulous Plough and Feather Gastro pub.
The Department of Conservation as well as private individuals and community organisations, ‘up keep’ these tracks which provide users with an easy stroll – and just minutes to town. The Rainbow Falls track system runs downwards towards the Stone Store area where there is beautiful scenery and cafes to quench your thirst. Our tip: put a few dollars in your pocket for a boutique beer to reward your self with at the bottom of the track in the Kerikeri Basin area. We more than happy to drop you off at the head of the track at Rainbow Falls so you can simply walk “home” without the hassle of going back to pick your car up.
