Mangapohue Natural Bridge- Marakopa Falls-Waitomo
We highly recommend visiting the Mangapohue Natural Bridge, a stunning limestone archway formed by the Mangapohue Stream. This 17-meter-high natural bridge is a remnant of an ancient cave system, located on a scenic drive from Waitomo Caves Village. The easy, family-friendly walk takes about 20 minutes round-trip, leading to a viewing platform where you can admire stalactites and fossilized oysters dating back 25 million years.
While in the area, explore nearby attractions such as the Marokopa Falls, Piripiri Cave, and Opapaka Pa, all offering unique natural beauty. The walk is pushchair and wheelchair friendly up to the viewing platform, ensuring everyone can enjoy this geological wonder.
Walking time: 20 minutes return.
Distance from Waitomo Caves: 25km.
