In the Bay of Islands, located in Northland in New Zealand, the small township of Waipapa is a beautiful, rural getaway. Without a school or supermarket in its district, the town urges visitors to bring the essentials and leave the world behind. Waipapa is known in the rock climbing community for its amazing cliffs, while hikers and cyclists enjoy the trails along Waipapa Stream. The stream runs into the Kerikeri River, which contains the spectacular Rainbow Falls. The massive, single-drop fall is surrounded by a forest of native kauri and totara, with a kiwi habitat found along its north bank. Kerikeri is the closest urban centre, where civilisation is just 10 minutes' drive from most Waipapa hotels. The Bay of Islands is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations, where visitors can fish, sail and see some of the oldest historic buildings in the country. Swim with dolphins in the warm waters of the bay or take a boat to the sandy beaches of Urupukapuka Island, where the vibrant reef is special sight for divers and snorkellers.
