ROTORUA WATERFALLS ARE BETTER AT SUNRISE - OKERE FALLS /// THESTYLEJUNGLE VLOG #02
Rotorua is one of the most popular tourist destinations in New Zealand. There are a lot of activities available there and heaps of them are free. One of top 10 free things to do in Rotorua is visiting Okere Falls reserve where 3 beautiful waterfalls are located. This is a must visit place for adventure travels, especially if you want to try rafting. If you are not sure where to go in New Zealand, Okere Falls is an amazing waterfall and definitely one of the most beautiful places to see the best of New Zealand.
Our friend Robbie had this place on his list for a really long time. To enjoy Okere Falls at their fullest, we woke up really early and filmed everything with a soft morning light (and a lot of lens flares).

Okere falls track in 4K - Rotorua, New Zealand
Explore forest walks that lead to a series of beautiful waterfalls, the Tutea Caves and Hinemoa's Steps!!
Okere River, “the place of drifting', plummets and scurries through steep, forested ravines before entering the tranquil waters of the Trout Pool. Its beauty can be enjoyed from the Okere Falls Scenic Reserve, which is located 21 kilometres from Rotorua on Trout Pool Road.
Walking tracks in the reserve lead to four picturesque waterfalls, the site of Rotorua's first hydro-electric power station, the Tutea Caves and Hinemoa's Steps. The tracks are well-formed and information panels along the way explain the natural and man-made features within the reserve.Hinemoa's Steps were carved into a rock face in 1907 and lead to the thundering waterfalls and some caves that were used by local Maori women and children to hide during times of war. From a viewing platform near Hinemoa's Steps you can watch rafters descend the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world - an 11 metre, white watered plunge into a deep lazy pool below.
The Trout Pool is a popular fishing spot and trout can be seen swimming gently against the current.
