Tauranga's nearby forest reserve makes for a great destination for nature-lovers that's got plenty of walking tracks to explore and take in the greenery, however the reserve's undoubted highlight is the tumbling Kaiate Falls which are well within reach from the city itself. All it takes is a short walk from the reserve carpark (which can be reached after roughly a 20 minute drive from Tauranga city and comes complete with toilets and some well-kept picnic tables) and you'll soon be at the first of three main tiers of the falls, with the upper of the three often being labeled the most beautiful while the lower are the largest. The walk to the falls itself is scenic and ripe with greenery, and there are various pools along the way that are popular with locals and visitors alike for taking a dip during the warmer months. It's a common sight to see local kids jumping from the rocks into the main pool, which can seem dangerous to observers but is generally safe as the waters of the pool are quite deep.
