*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.
