Bridal Veil Falls are a 15 minute drive from Raglan over a good quality but narrow sealed road. There is a ten minute walk from the car park to the top lookout. The view from the lookout is excellent. however, if you want a truly spectacular view descend about 260 well formed steps to the base of the waterfall. There are several lookouts and plenty of rest areas along the way. The view from the base is stunning and well worth the effort. The area is managed by the Department of Conservation and they have installed a number of interpretive signs along the route that provide details of the geological formation, native bush, etc. The falls are a great sight no matter how much water is falling.

Over the edge of an old lava stream the water falls 55 meters down in a little 'lake'. Beautiful view of the bush in the valley and the lavarock. You can climb down the steps to watch the waterfall from all heights.

This is the biggest and best waterfall I've seen and it is set in a wonderful valley that is a joy to look at in itself.

Pure beauty. From the top of the falls, the views are a stunning panorama of verdant forest and woodland as far as the eye can see. The falls are free to view and parking isn't too far a walk from the top viewing platform. It is quite a long descent to the bottom of the falls, but worth it for the views back up the cliff face. The geological features are well explained on information boards near the pool at the base of the falls. I wish I'd taken my trunks for a swim in this natural Jacuzzi.

Lovely bush walk to a spectacular waterfall. Don't miss it. There are 4 viewing platforms starting at the top bad ending at the bottom. OK so it isn't Iguacu or Niagara but it is free and just a short walk.

The walk it's short and the Fall is really nice, on the otherside the road to arrive it's less tha average even if you don't need a 4x4.

Not too much water due to drought but awful road in and not so outstanding measured against similar waterways.

This is a good little stop off if out driving the area. The falls are high if not massive in terms of water dropping. The area is pleasant and you can view the falls from both the top and the bottom - it is a lot of steps down. The climb is worth it as there is an eerie atmosphere at the bottom.
