Tourist Guide

Upper McLean Falls; the reward at the end of the short walk through the rain forest in the Catlins on the south island of New Zealand. #nature

The incredible McLean Falls in The Catlins, New Zealand. If you're feeling adventurous you can even climb to the top of the falls and stand on the edge 😮

This is McLean Falls and it's located in the Catlins, one of the most beautiful areas in New Zealand. Mclean Falls is the tallest and perhaps the most spectacular waterfall in this region and officially reaches 22 metres in height, but this just refers to the main drop of the falls from the very top to where it meets its first water pool, it then descends for many more metres over a series of terraces. #green

McLeans Falls (lower) is always worth the walk when exploring the Catlins in New Zealand’s South Island. #waterfall #rainforest
