The Kitekite Falls are one of the most famous waterfalls in the Waitakere Ranges with six drops into a large lake-like pool at the bottom. The falls are reached by walking tracks at the end of Glen Esk Road.

The entrance to the Kitekite falls walking track is at the end of the road. The track is pretty popular and can get very busy in the weekends and public holidays. If you are going to walk it on one of these days, I’d highly recommend going early, enjoying the peace and avoiding the crowds. Once you are on the walk, the track splits and there are two ways you can approach. I’d recommend taking the track to the right (it’s a nicer way to approach as you get a really nice view of the falls). Then if you cross over the water fall pool, you can head back the other way. From that track you can choose to go to the top of the falls. There are some beautiful pools up there and a great view.

A few steps, moderate walk. You can swim in the pools if you get hot on the walk there.

Lovely walk through the bush ending at a waterfall with swimming hole - gentle walk - just a bit of a challenge at the end. Look for signposting right by RSA before you get to Piha beach
