In my opinion this is one of the most impressive waterfalls in New Zealand. You need to be prepared and get a permit to visit the site as access is via forestry roads. For more info check out the DOC website.

An amazing spot a little bit of a drive out from Rotorua, the Tarawera Falls rush over the edge of a cliff formed by volcanic lava flow. Surrounded by native bush, water here surges out of fissures in a large rock cliff-face. The walks around here are great. Check with DOC for a full run-down of what's on offer.
