Introduction
Waiau Falls on the Waiau River in the Coromandel Peninsula is a multi-tiered waterfall of about 20 m hidden in native rainforest. A clear plunge pool sits below, good for summer swimming; the short trail passes ferns and giant trees in rain-forest air — a refreshing roadside stop on a Coromandel drive.
