Chasing Waterfalls In Auckland (Fail)

Chasing Waterfalls In Auckland (Fail) | Karekare Falls Walk

In this vlog we're chasing waterfalls in West Auckland and checking out the Piha beach viewpoint. After the Karekare waterfalls walk things don't exactly pan out...⚡️Exciting news! We're about to launch a course teaching you how to conquer video editing - danegerandstacey.com/video-ed... ⬇ More Below ⬇
It's another stunning day in New Zealand exploring some of West Auckland. We'd been told about the 2 best Auckland Waterfalls (well, in this region anyway) and chucked into maps Karekare falls, followed by Kitekite falls. If you've got a recommendation for Auckland waterfalls let us know in the comments please :)
The Karekare falls walk is more like a little meander, it's a whopping 5 minute walk to the falls and it's worth every step. The Karekare falls are epic and remind us a lot of Bali actually. Like a lot of our hikes, walks and nature stops in New Zealand it's a great place for a picnic.
Sadly things didn't go to plan from that point on. Though we did make it to the Piha beach lookout point, we weren't able to head to the Kitekite falls walk... watch along and you'll see why :(

my ex and I were there in 1979 before the road was even paved and there were no car parks or signs to speak of. All of a sudden we were at these magnificent falls and this beautiful deserted beach with a small place to get snacks. It will be locked forever in my memory as magical.

As always,you two have literally knocked it outta the park - excuse the pun. Shame about the incident,but still a great upload. All along that area of the West coast is stunning,and those waterfalls are great (you guys werent too far off the second waterfalls). I have many mates out there at Piha,mostly musos, so when the levels drop (or traffic lights as they are gonna be known),you'll have to pop along to one of the many gigs they have out there at the RSA,or Piha Bowling club,many local bands from Piha and Auckland have awesome gigs there,so when lockdown changes,expect an invite - the music's awesome,the locals are awesome,and the afterparties are awesome.

Ooooh yay, I really enjoyed your Auckland mini series, and as cool as the road trip was that interrupted it, I'm pleased to see it back (and also love the intro song for it too - I missed that!) The 1st waterfall was stunning and agreed, nice that it was close to the car park. Usually when it's that close, there's a million people there. Had no idea those 2nd falls were pronounced kitty kitty. I've seen it written a few times before but thought it was 'kite' like, 'lets go fly a kite' 🤦‍You might not have been able to share the falls, but I certainly learnt something new!

@DanegerAndStacey 2 жыл бұрын

Aw we're so happy to hear that! We were so lucky to be the only people there, we couldn't believe it. You're not alone with thinking that's how you pronounce it - we love sharing the little nuggets of Te Reo with you guys ❤️
