Sightseeing
Even though Bridal Veil falls is a small drive out of Raglan, it is well worth a visit! Especially after decent rainfall, the waterfall is spectacular and the bush walk is refreshing :) you will need good walking shoes as it can become slippery after rain...

A beautiful walking track that you can take, which brings you out at the Wainui Reserve car park, leading down to the main beach. One of the entrances is off Wainui Road, 2 minutes drive from Whare Tatū, heading towards the main beach, you will go over a small white bridge called Dando’s Bridge, then it’s hard right, you will see a small car park. Once you find the main entrance there’s signs to show you which tracks to take and the skill level needed :)
