Omanawa Falls is a hidden oasis near Tauranga on the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 30 minutes from town and requires some navigating, however, adventure seekers are rewarded with one of nature’s best spectacles – an incredible waterfall surrounded by lush green kiwi bush.

Three lookout platforms providing panoramic views of the falls and wider Ōmanawa Valley were installed in 2023 as part of a safer access and walkway project to enable people to view the falls. Information panels detail the cultural significance of the area to Ngāti Hangarau and the history of the Ōmanawa Falls Power Station. An immersive ngahere (forest) walkway connecting the car park and lookouts is now available to the public. A portion of the walkway, which connects the Wairere Tapu Lookout and Te Harikoa Lookout, includes several hundred stairs so a moderate to high level of fitness is required. There are two ecological walking loops connecting to the main walking track.

PLEASE NOTE: Swimming is prohibited at the falls. Ōmanawa Falls has been a sacred place for Ngāti Hangarau for generations. This was and remains a place of Āio - insight, reflection and interpretation and a place of Rongoā - meditation and healing. Please respect these guidelines as they still apply today. 

The photo I took from here was taken in 2015. The hike down to the falls can be very difficult and often require manoeuvring over rocks and branches, so it is not recommended to attempt. There has been one death, several serious injuries and at least 11 search and rescue operations since 2013.
