Waikato Tupapakurua Falls

A moderate out-and-back tramp of 13km total length requiring 4 – 5 hours to view a wonderful waterfall. With this target the walk is best done when it is or has been raining but this means the track will be slippery and tricky after the halfway point to the end since only the first section of track has been upgraded. A few sections are a bit of a grunt with an overall altitude variation of 185 metres. Good footwear is required as several of the slopes on the latter part are steep and slippery when wet. The furthest point reached took 3 hours on the day but this did include a 30 minute lunch break.
