Create an itinerary including Mangapohue Natural Bridge Walk

Stand in awe at the geological history of Waikato at Mangapohue Natural Bridge Walk, a 17 m (56 ft) limestone arch that crosses Mangapohue Stream. The last remnant of an ancient cave system, the bridge makes up part of a mighty gorge and is decorated with impressive stalactite rock formations. Easily accessible even for those with infants in strollers, a well-maintained trail leads you to the mouth of the bridge and continues along the gorge and out into pristine farmland. Plan to visit Mangapohue Natural Bridge Walk during your Waitomo Caves vacation using our convenient Waitomo Caves travel route website.

The walk is currently closed off after the swing bridge. You can’t actually see it at all. The road to get there is very windy.
