Mokoroa Falls is about 5 minutes from Bethell's Beach, on the western shore of North Island. The boys and I did the 30 minute hike easily on the way there, but the return was a bit more difficult going uphill. Simon had to bring his felt tip markers in case we got lost so he could make HELP signs.
Mokoroa Falls, January 18, 2014
The rocks were covered with algae making them very slick. It took some encouraging for the boys to get in.
Simon about to run up the falls.
We found an eel in the stream. I can't believe this is the worst photo of it I took, but it was pretty cool to watch it searching for food.
Gavin told me this was the most fascinating place he'd ever been. Talon and Simon were constantly watching their backs for spiders, mosquitos, and any other unholy outdoor critter.
