Book Description

December 4, 2006
Whether you're on holiday from abroad, or a Kiwi looking for new places in your own backyard, you now have a way to truly experience New Zealand's scenic diversity. With A Guide to New Zealand Waterfalls, nature lovers can find the country's most spectacular waterfalls in landscapes as varied as serene rainforests, awe-inspiring alpine mountains, mythical fiords, colourful volcanic moonscapes, and soothing sandy beaches. Johnny T. Cheng presents a visual treat (and wonderful keepsake) as well as an informative trip- and excursion-planning resource with breath-taking colour photos, easy-to-follow directions, colour maps, and interesting tidbits for each waterfall excursion. In addition to its coverage of the waterfalls, the Guide also informs its readers of nearby attractions to provide ideas for a fulfilling and unforgettable time in the bush.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Made Our Trip, December 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Guide to New Zealand Waterfalls (Paperback)
We used this book to plan our trip to New Zealand, then once there, we referred to the book often for helpful hints to find some of the falls. We loved the helpful tips and estimated walk times, which were pretty accurate, and fall ratings which we agreed with most of the time. In other words, it was a very helpful book, and significantly enhanced our New Zealand trip. We went to New Zealand primarily to see waterfalls, and stay at farms, so we used the book to pick the falls we really wanted to see, then found farmstays in the areas that would most facilitate visiting the most falls. Very helpful book. Highly recommended.

For those who are about to visit New Zealand & love waterfalls, this is the book for them. It gives good descriptions of the Waterfalls & their locations with details of how to reach them. A must have book for Waterfall-holics.

This review is from: A Guide to New Zealand Waterfalls (Paperback)
This is a very well produced, very well rounded guidebook. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of coverage of the South Island (considering how many waterfalls there are on the South Island), but given that the author lives in California, and conducted this research over a few trips to the other side of the planet, this is a commendable book. I own many books on the subject of Waterfalls and this is simply one of the best ever printed.
