Korokoro Falls

Tucked deep within the remote forests of Te Urewera, Korokoro Falls is a serene and photogenic waterfall cascading into a mossy, fern-lined basin. Reached via a well-marked 1.5-hour return walk from the Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk track, this secluded spot rewards photographers with its lush native bush, dappled forest light, and the falls’ elegant drop—ideal conditions for long exposure shots. The surrounding rainforest provides a rich palette of greens and textures, especially enchanting after rainfall. With its untouched natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere, Korokoro Falls offers a perfect escape for photographers seeking intimate landscape scenes away from the crowds. (Te Urewera, New Zealand)
