Okere Falls

A lookout over the Kaituna River, where the rafts drop over the falls.

When: Labour Weekend, 24–26 Oct 2026
Trip: Rotorua Labour Weekend

Why it’s on the list

Labour Day itself, so one short walk before the drive home. The currents are dangerous, so I'll stay on the track. Hamurana Springs is optional: skipping it means leaving before the holiday traffic builds.

Photos arrive when I do.

After the trip, this page fills itself from the photo dump, and the pin on the map turns solid.
