Waipunga Falls
The forceful 40m plunge of the Waipunga River into three (and a half) thick columns. Located along the Napier-Taupo Road, the Waipunga Falls are easily located and a mandatory stop on the way.

Bridal Veil Falls (top viewpoint)
The waterfall is the long-term result of a volcanic eruption that happened around 2 million years ago that spewed lava down a river valley, which then solidified over the older sandstone. This harder basalt then remained intact as water flowed over it and cut a deep pool in the softer sandstone underneath. The plunge from the top goes down 55 meters into a large 5-metre deep pool before it disappears into the thick bush.
Tawhai Falls, Tongariro National Park
The Tawhai Falls tumble over the edge of an ancient lava flow which erupted from Ruapehu many thousands of years ago.

Golden Rocks at Punakaiki
JAB_20160110_7DMII_7566-Edit
The Pancake Rocks that Punakaiki is famous for, are limestone formations that began forming 30 million years ago, when lime-rich fragments of dead marine creatures were deposited on the seabed, then overlaid by weaker layers of soft mud and clay. The seabed was raised above sealevel by earthquakes to form the coastal cliffs and coastline. The sea, wind and rain have since etched out the soft layers to form the unusual rock formations we see today.
