The route
Time: 10 min one way
Car park to top of falls Top of falls to base of falls It is an attractive easy walk through native forest following the Pakoka River to the top of the Waireinga/Bridal Veil Falls. The two viewing platforms at the top of the falls provide spectacular views of the falls and surrounding countryside. From here, the track descends steeply down stairs to a midway viewpoint. The track continues down more stairs to the bottom view bridge and information shelter where there is a magnificent view directly across the pool and up at the falls.
