New Zealand Marokoapa Falls, Waitomo

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

One of the prettiest waterfalls in the country. A short bush walk to some impressive falls. They were much bigger than I expected. Well worth the 60km, slow round trip from Waitomo if you have time.

Photography Tips

Organize the weather to be overcast, even with a bit of rain for atmosphere. Always use a polarizer when shooting water falls to remove the reflections on the wet rocks. Use a tripod and get your shutter speed under 1/20 and adjust to taste. You made need a ND filter to get it down that slow if it is a bright day.
