*The 4km walk from Punamii-unpuu camp site to the Mitchell Falls will be the highlight of your visit, we allow 2 hours to complete the hike. The terrain on this walking trail can be difficult (Class 5 graded walk) and requires a high level of fitness. Care should be taken due to uneven surfaces, water crossings, cliffs and gorges. For any guests who are unable to complete the walk or cancel on the day will not receive a refund and will be liable for any additional costs incurred.
*Please also note that should the Mitchell Falls cease to flow we may suspend the remainder of the Mitchell Falls tour season schedule.
*The Horizontal Waterfalls is a natural phenomenon which is tide dependant with variable flow. We cannot guarantee the amount or level of water flowing through the Horizontal Waterfalls when overflying due to the structured tour schedule.
