Matai Falls

Matai Falls, in Otago, New Zealand, is the ideal destination for nature-lovers and outdoor adventurers.

The spot is best known for its lonely waterfall plunging down a deep, green gorge, but it's also home to other natural attractions. Popular activities like fishing, rafting, kayaking, and hiking are all options here, as are bird watching, swimming, and camping in the Matai Forest surround the falls. There's even a fabled blue green lake near the falls, where you can enjoy a private picnic on the beach. Be sure to dress for the weather and bring your camera - you won't want to miss a chance to capture the beauty of Matai Falls!
