Wainui Falls
Waterfall in Tasman, New Zealand / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wainui Falls is a 20-metre (66 ft) waterfall in Wainui Bay, in the Tasman region of New Zealand.[2][3] The waterfall is part of the Wainui River and cascades over granite bedrock into a deep pool at its base.[3][6] It is the largest and most accessible waterfall in the Abel Tasman National Park and the Nelson-Golden Bay area, and can be reached via the short Wainui Falls Track.[2][7][8] The track is popular as a day walk among tourists, and while the waters of the Wainui River can be too cold for swimming much of the year, the plunge pool is a favoured swimming hole in the summer months.[7][9]
